11. (1) Subject to subparagraphs (2) and (3), mobile gas holders containing chemicals shall comply with this Schedule. (2) The dimensions and design of the label may not observe the requirements of paragraph 6, but instead follow the prescriptions of ISO standard ISO/DP 7225. (3) In this case the label can bear the generic name or the industrial/commercial name of the product, provided that the dangerous ingredients are shown on the body of the gas cylinder in a clear and indelible way. ELEVENTH SCHEDULE [Section 18 (1) (b)] HAZARD COMMUNICATION: SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS) A. Role of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) The Safety Data Sheet should provide comprehensive information about a chemical substance or mixture for use in a workplace. Both employers and workers use it as a source of information about hazards, including environmental hazards, and to obtain advice on safety precautions. The Safety Data Sheet is an important source of information for those involved in the transport of dangerous goods, emergency responders (including poison centres), those involved in the professional use of pesticides and consumers. Additional information may prove necessary in some cases in view of the wide range of properties of the substances and mixtures and where it appears that the information from certain properties is of no significance or that it is technically impossible to provide such information, the reasons for the noncompliance shall be clearly stated. When a Safety Data Sheet has been revised, the new and significant information shall be brought to the attention of the recipient. B. Criteria for producing an SDS An SDS should be produced for all substances and mixtures which meet the criteria for physical, health or environmental hazards under the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) and for all mixtures which contain substances that meet the criteria for carcinogenic, toxic to reproduction or target organ systemic toxicity in concentrations exceeding the cut-off limits for SDS specified by the criteria for mixtures. D1 – 93 [Issue 1] Dangerous Chemicals Control Act C. General guidance for compiling a Safety Data Sheet cut-off values/concentration limits An SDS should be provided based on the generic cut-off values/concentration limits as indicated below— Cut-off Values/Concentration Limits for each Health and Environmental Hazard Class Cut-off Hazard Class value/concentration limit Acute toxicity >1.0% Skin corrosion/irritation >1.0% Serious damage to eyes/eye irritation >1.0% Respiratory/Skin sensitisation >1.0% Mutagenicity: Category 1 >0.1% Mutagenicity: Category 2 >1.0% Carcinogenicity >0.1% Reproductive toxicity >0.1% Target organ systemic toxicity(single exposure) >1.0% Target organ systemic toxicity (repeat exposure) >1.0% Hazardous to the environment >1.0% Safety data sheet format The minimum information in the SDS should be presented under the following 16 headings in the order given below.
