The obligations of the recipient of an SDS are beyond the scope of this part of ISO 11014.Some of them are included, however, to clearly differentiate between the obligations of the supplier of the SDS and those of the recipient of the SDS.
Safety data sheet for chemical products Part 1: Content and order of sections 1 Scope
This part of ISO 11014 presents information for the compilation and completion of an SDS.
It defines specifically:
-the general layout of the SDS; -the 16 standard headings;
-the numbering and the sequence of these 16 standard headings;
-the items necessary to fill in an SDS and the conditions of their applicability or utilization.
This part of ISO 11014 does not define a fixed format, nor does it include an actual SDS to be filled in.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 11014, the following definitions apply. 3.1 safety: Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm.[1]
3.2 risk: The probable rate of occurrence of a hazard causing harm, and the degree of severity of the harm.[1]
3.3 hazard: A potential source of harm.[1]
3.4 harm: Physical injury and/or damage to health or property.[1] 3.5 intended use: The use of a product or process under conditions or for purposes in accordance with specifications and instructions provided by the supplier-including information for publicity purposes.[1]
3.6 reasonably foreseeable misuse: The use of a product or process under conditions or for purposes not intended by the supplier, but which may happen, induced by the design of the product,in combination with, or as a result of, common human behaviour.[1]
3.7 supplier: Party responsible for making a chemical product available to a recipient.
3.8 recipient: Party receiving a chemical product for industrial or professional
use, such as storage, handling, processing or packaging, from a supplier.
3.9 substance chemical: Chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any production process, including any additive necessary to preserve the stability of the product and any impurity deriving from the process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting the stability of the substance or changing its composition.
NOTE 1 The word \
3.10 preparation; mixture: Mixture or solution composed of two or more substances.
NOTE 2 The word \3.11 chemical product: Substance or preparation. 3.12 ingredient: Constituent of a chemical product.
3.13 exposure control:[CX]The full range of precautionary measures to protect the user of the chemical product.
3.14 item: Any textual information corresponding to a subheading in an SDS. 4 General aspects
An SDS applies to a chemical product as a whole.
Information contained in an SDS is non?confidential. Confidential information on ingredients may be given in a different way, provided section2 of annex A is observed.
Any supplier should provide a complete SDS to the recipient and shall report relevant information on safety, health and environment. The supplier has the
obligation to keep the SDSs up to date and to provide the recipient with the latest edition.
The recipient of an SDS is responsible for acting in accordance with a risk assessment in regard of the conditions of product use and for taking necessary precautionary measures in a given work situation, and has the responsibility to keep the users informed about the hazards relevant to their individual workplace.
The recipient of an SDS is responsible for choosing the appropriate way of informing the users. When formulating the specific instructions for the workplace, the recipient should consider the general recommendations of relevant SDSs. Since an SDS is merely product-related, it cannot take into account all the possible situations which may arise at any given workplace. Therefore an SDS only constitutes part of the information necessary to establish a safety programme.
5 Contents and general layout of an SDS
An SDS shall provide the chemical product information given under the following 16 standard headings，the wording, numbering and sequence of which shall not be altered:
1 Product and company identification 2 Composition/information on ingredients 3 Hazards identification 4 First-aid measures 5 Fire-fighting measures 6 Accidental release measures
7 Handling and storage
8 Exposure controls/personal protection 9 Physical and chemical properties 10 Stability and reactivity 11 Toxicological information 12 Ecological information 13 Disposal considerations 14 Transport information 15 Regulatory information 16 Other information
Under each of the 16 standard headings, relevant information shall be stated. If this information is not available, then it shall be stated why not. Blanks shall not be left, with one exception understandard heading 16 \blank is allowed. In an SDS, the sources of information do not normally have to be specified.
The 16 sections corresponding to the 16 standard headings shall be completed in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of annex A \
These 16 sections may be subdivided by means of subheadings. However, unlike the16 standard headings, the subheadings shall not be numbered.
The use of subheadings where appropriate is recommended. When
subheadings or items are given, they shall be given in the sequence specified in
