I'll look into this when I get a minute. I think there are still some sites that compare what is required on U.S. SDSs and what is required by the E.U. I know OSHA didn't require a number of things for U.S. SDSs. However, don't try exporting with a U.S. SDS since about 162 countries signed on to the U.N. and/or more recent E.U. versions. That's why you don't have to indicate which of the 10 toxicity tests have been done and which haven't for a U.S. SDS in Section 11 -- which I bitched about yesterday.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] GHS Hazard Statement codes
Someone asked me the other day if the Hazard Statement codes (H220, etc.) are part of OSHA's HazComm standard. As far as I can tell, they aren't and US SDS's don't include them. Am I correct in this? Anyway know why they might not be included in the US?
Thanks for any help with this question.
