The full name of SDS is 'Safety Data Sheet'. It is a supporting/internal document that offers thorough information about the components or chemicals used in a product. It is used to indicate specific hazards related to hazardous materials, components, or substances.

SDS also includes preventative actions that must be performed when handling and disposing of hazardous materials. It is crucial to remember that getting an SDS certificate from a test facility is not required. Furthermore, countries that import dangerous materials and products derived from such substances are legally required to provide an SDS (Safety Data Sheet).

The safety data sheet is a technical document that contains all of the necessary information, such as chemical nature, hazard identification, & safety precautions, for the substances used in the products being imported into the country. The SDS Sheet, or safety data sheet, is prepared according to OSHA requirements and it takes into account all international standards such as GHS and WHIMS.
