Who is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of SDS information?

The chemical manufacturer or importer holds the responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information. This is because they are the ones who generate the SDS based on the chemical properties, potential hazards, handling guidelines, and regulatory requirements. By compiling all the necessary and relevant data related to their products, they ensure that users have access to proper safety information and instructions.

The accuracy of an SDS is critical for the safety of all individuals who may come into contact with the chemical, including employees, emergency responders, and even the general public. If the information is inaccurate or misleading, it can result in improper handling or exposure scenarios, leading to severe health risks or accidents. Thus, it is the manufacturer's or importer's legal obligation to keep the SDS updated and in compliance with current regulations to reflect any changes in the chemical's classification or use.
