Which item is included in SDS to describe physical and chemical properties?

• A. Physical and chemical characteristics of the material
• B. Marketing claims
• C. Supplier's financial information
• D. Color of the container

Answer: (A)

SDS includes information on the physical and chemical properties of a material so you can assess hazards and plan safe handling. The item describing those properties covers surface details like appearance and odor, physical state, and measurable characteristics such as melting and boiling points, pH, flash point, flammability, vapor pressure and density, and solubility. These properties help determine how the material behaves, its potential reactivity, and how it should be stored and handled. Marketing claims, supplier financial information, and container color are not part of the material’s inherent physical or chemical properties and aren’t used to describe the material in the SDS.
