Appendix D Safety Data Sheets (Mandatory)

OSHA 1910 General Industry > Z Toxic and Hazardous Substances > 1910.1200 Hazard Communication > D Safety Data Sheets (Mandatory)
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
A safety data sheet (SDS) shall include the information specified in Table D.1 under the section number and heading indicated for sections 1-11 and 16. If no relevant information is found for any given subheading within a section, the SDS shall clearly indicate that no applicable information is available. Sections 12-15 may be included in the SDS, but are not mandatory.

Table D.1—Minimum Information for an SDS
Heading Subheading
1. Identification
  1. Product identifier used on the label;
  2. Other means of identification;
  3. Recommended use of the chemical and restrictions on use;
  4. Name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party;
  5. Emergency phone number.
2. Hazard(s) identification
  1. Classification of the chemical in accordance with paragraph (d) of §1910.1200;
  2. Signal word, hazard statement(s), symbol(s) and precautionary statement(s) in accordance with paragraph (f) of §1910.1200. (Hazard symbols may be provided as graphical reproductions in black and white or the name of the symbol, e.g., flame, skull and crossbones);
  3. Describe any hazards not otherwise classified that have been identified during the classification process;
  4. Where an ingredient with unknown acute toxicity is used in a mixture at a concentration ≥1% and the mixture is not classified based on testing of the mixture as a whole, a statement that X% of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute toxicity is required.
3. Composition/information on ingredients Except as provided for in paragraph (i) of §1910.1200 on trade secrets: For Substances

  1. Chemical name;
  2. Common name and synonyms;
  3. CAS number and other unique identifiers;
  4. Impurities and stabilizing additives which are themselves classified and which contribute to the classification of the substance.
For Mixtures
In addition to the information required for substances:
  1. The chemical name and concentration (exact percentage) or concentration ranges of all ingredients which are classified as health hazards in accordance with paragraph (d) of §1910.1200 and

    1. Are present above their cut-off/concentration limits; or
    2. Present a health risk below the cut-off/concentration limits.
  2. The concentration (exact percentage) shall be specified unless a trade secret claim is made in accordance with paragraph (i) of §1910.1200, when there is batch-to-batch variability in the production of a mixture, or for a group of substantially similar mixtures (See A.0.5.1.2) with similar chemical composition. In these cases, concentration ranges may be used.
For All Chemicals Where a Trade Secret is Claimed

Where a trade secret is claimed in accordance with paragraph (i) of §1910.1200, a statement that the specific chemical identity and/or exact percentage (concentration) of composition has been withheld as a trade secret is required.

4.First-aid measures
  1. Description of necessary measures, subdivided according to the different routes of exposure, i.e., inhalation, skin and eye contact, and ingestion;
  2. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed.
  3. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary.

5. Fire-fighting measures
  1. Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media.
  2. Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g., nature of any hazardous combustion products).
  3. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters.

6. Accidental release measures
  1. Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures.
  2. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.

7. Handling and storage
  1. Precautions for safe handling.
  2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection
  1. OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV), and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer preparing the safety data sheet, where available.
  2. Appropriate engineering controls.
  3. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment.

9. Physical and chemical properties
  1. Appearance (physical state, color, etc.);
  2. Odor;
  3. Odor threshold;
  4. pH;
  5. Melting point/freezing point;
  6. Initial boiling point and boiling range;
  7. Flash point;
  8. Evaporation rate;
  9. Flammability (solid, gas);
  10. Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits;
  11. Vapor pressure;
  12. Vapor density;
  13. Relative density;
  14. Solubility(ies);
  15. Partition coefficient: n-octanol/water;
  16. Auto-ignition temperature;
  17. Decomposition temperature;
  18. Viscosity.

10. Stability and reactivity
  1. Reactivity;
  2. Chemical stability;
  3. Possibility of hazardous reactions;
  4. Conditions to avoid (e.g., static discharge, shock, or vibration);
  5. Incompatible materials;
  6. Hazardous decomposition products.
11. Toxicological information Description of the various toxicological (health) effects and the available data used to identify those effects, including:
  1. Information on the likely routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact);
  2. Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics;
  3. Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure;
  4. Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates).
  5. Whether the hazardous chemical is listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report on Carcinogens (latest edition) or has been found to be a potential carcinogen in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs (latest edition), or by OSHA.
