The 16 SDS sections form one information system

The sixteen sections are interconnected. A change to composition or classification can affect several parts of the document at the same time.

01

Identification and hazards

The opening sections connect product identity, uses, classification and composition.

02

Emergency response

First aid, fire and spill measures must follow the identified hazards.

03

Prevention and properties

Handling, protection and properties describe practical risk control.

04

Behaviour and effects

Stability, toxicology and ecology require compatible evidence.

05

End of life and regulation

Disposal, transport, regulation and revision history complete the record.
