GHS Safety Data Sheets Guide

Safety Data Sheets (SDS), previously called MSDS, provide complete information about chemicals and mixtures, including first aid procedures. SDS follow a standardized 16-section format covering identification, hazards, composition, handling, storage, exposure controls, physical properties, stability, toxicity, disposal, transport, and regulatory information. The first two sections contain all information required for GHS chemical labeling. SDS are designed to communicate hazards and mitigate risks associated with chemicals.

7. Handling and Storage Identi cation and Hazard(s) Identi cation,
8. Exposure controls/ contain all the information about a substance
personal protection that is required to create a GHS label.

9. Physical and

10. Stability and reactivity
11. Toxicological
