Elaine Campling itemises the reasoning behind safety data sheets
The European Chemicals Agency state that “Safety data sheets (SDS) are the main tool for ensuring that suppliers communicate enough information along the supply chain to allow safe use of their substances and mixtures”.
However, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) and other interested parties report that the quality and content of safety data sheets is not always what it should be.
This causes confusion for customers and could result in the advertent exposure to chemical substances.
