- Also has an arrangement of sections that is similar to the UN's GHS arrangement of sections, with slightly different section names, required for pure substances, and is optional (by request) for chemical product mixtures.
- SDS's provide classifications based on the EU's Regulation No. 1272/2008 for the classification, labelling and packaging of pure substances and mixtures, as amended. EU Regulation No. 1272/2008 is the EU's amendment of existing regulations to incorporate the UN's GHS.
