stabiilisuustietoja

Stabiilisuustietoja is a Finnish compound word comprising stabiili meaning stable and tietoja meaning information. It is used primarily in regulatory and scientific contexts to refer to data that describes the stability of substances, materials or processes. In chemistry and pharmaceutical regulations the term is synonymous with the stability records that are required for safety data sheets (SDS), pharmaceutical dossiers and quality control documentation. The information typically includes results of accelerated ageing studies, temperature and humidity tolerance, decomposition pathways, and shelf‑life predictions.

In the European Union, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) requires that chemical proprietors file “stability information” to support the risk assessment conducted under the REACH regulation. Finnish organisations such as Finnchem and the Institute for Chemical Research (KAR) maintain national databases of stabiilisuustietoja, which are accessible to industries involved in chemical production, packaging and waste management.

Stability data are essential for ensuring product safety, compliance with environmental legislation, and for the design of safe handling procedures. They also inform risk managers, regulatory agencies, and consumers about the potential hazards associated with long‑term storage or transport.

Standard formats for presenting stabiilisuustietoja include the ISO 11471 series for chemical substances and the ASTM International standards for pharmaceuticals. The data are peer reviewed and subject to periodic reassessment as new analytical techniques or usage conditions arise.
