Safety Data Sheet

Ensure the safe and proper use of chemicals by using a mobile app for your safety data sheets.

What is the Safety Data Sheet?

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contains detailed information about properties, hazards and emergency actioc when handling a specific chemical. The United Nations requires a safety data sheet consisting of 16 sections dealing with information on all properties and safety measures of a chemical.
