Material Safety Data Sheet

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is an instruction sheet/document containing chemical material information such as material characteristics (physical and chemical), potential dangers, methods of handling, special action in emergencies, and other necessary information.

The document plays an important role in ensuring occupational safety in the handling of chemicals. SDS provides information on the correct procedures in transportation, storage before use, handling during use, and emergency special handling up to disposal of the chemicals after use. Every employee who uses chemicals must read the SDS material for personal, material, and environmental safety.

Chemical manufacturers are obliged to provide SDS for the chemical products they produce according to national and international regulations.
