Safety Data Sheet

Also known as: SDS, MSDS, material safety data sheet

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a standardized document describing the hazards, safe handling, storage, and emergency measures for a chemical or product. Suppliers provide an SDS for raw materials, and finished products may require one depending on their contents and market. SDSs support worker safety, shipping compliance, and regulatory record-keeping.
