The simple answer is because end-users, be they companies,
schools, what-not, have hazard communication in place which
uses to a greater or lesser degree, HMIS. If the SDS writer
does not include it on the document, the chemical source
will receive many phones asking for it. I have been there.

So, confusion of 1-4 or 4-1 notwithstanding, both HMIS and
NFPA are included along with GHS.

Re: What is happening to the GHS SDS?

I'm hoping someone can tell my why, after we finally have a
good system of describing acute and chronic toxicity with
the GHS dose-response Categories, I'm suddenly seeing the
misleading dumb old HMIS one number toxicity system showing
up even on the new Sigma SDS for Cyrene.

This is really depressing.
