MSDS

Material Safety Data Sheet for chemical substances.

An important component of product stewardship and workplace safety, it is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.

MSDSs are a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product. These data sheets can be found anywhere where chemicals are being used.

There is also a duty to properly label substances on the basis of physico-chemical, health and/or environmental risk. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, used to denote a harmful substance.

The content of MSDS in Europe reflects the requirement of REACH and is called: SDS: Safety Data Sheet. From 2011 all SDS should be prepared according to REACH requirements.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
the safety data sheet is the main tool used in industry for communicating information on the hazard of dangerous substances and preparations through the supply chain. Annex II of REACH is based on the Annex to the safety data sheet Directive (91/155/EEC) and explains what information should be included under each of the 16 safety data sheet headings.
