OSHA requires that all hazardous components in excess of 1% be addressed on GHS compliant SDSs. Additionally, carcinogens in excess of 0.1% must be disclosed.
Fortunately, you do not have to disclose the exact percentages of mixture components. Instead, you can provide the composition information as a range of percentages, e.g. 5% – 10%.
According to OSHA, any chemical that could possibly cause any physical or health effect under expected conditions of use or reasonably anticipated conditions of misuse are hazardous.
A compound must be listed on your SDS if a component of the product is:
1. Listed to be a potential cancer hazard by one of the following agencies:NTP,IARC,OSHA,NIOSH, or theCAL/OSHA Program
2. Identified as a human reproductive toxin
3. Listed on theCalifornia Proposition 65 List
4. Present in concentrations greater than 1%
5. Required to be reported underSARA or theClean Air Act
