Subject: [DCHAS-L] Are SDS for existing chemicals required?
Do I need GHS compliant Safety Data Sheets for existing chemicals? Yes, by June 1,2015
Do I still keep the original MSDS as well? Yes, depending the states the law says for 30yrs plus the time of the employment of your employees
Do they have to be from the original manufacturer? They should be from your vendor/manufacturer.
What if the manufacturer no longer exist?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Shelly
