Usually these kinds of things are considered "articles" and require no MSDS or SDS.

I would wonder about this for ballasts or transformers containing fluid, but the manufacturers probably consider these sealed items as articles as well.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Query on (M)SDS and shipments

Dear DCHAS members,

I would like to know if an (M)SDS is required on all shipments of electrical 
devices? The device itself contains various chemical constituents. The 
constituents can be placed on the (M)SDS, but we need to provide and (M)SDS with 
every shipment?

I was looking at the OSHA/GHS regulations & statements but was unsuccessful.

Any assistance/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
