Notice:
New GHS Standard Requirements
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) / Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) was recently updated to require
that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous chemical products be updated by June 1,
2015 to meet the updated Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
(GHS) format and content requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
Permaboard supplied by American Hydrotech are not classified as a hazardous chemical under the
1910.1200 rule. Permaboard meet the OSHA definition of manufactured
“articles” (1910.1200(c)) that will not expose users to hazardous chemicals under normal and
expected conditions of use, and are therefore exempt from all requirements of the rule, including the
requirement to produce an SDS (1910.1200(b)(6)(v)).
American Hydrotech will continue to provide product data sheets for each of our products. However,
effective immediately we will no longer provide SDS for those products that are not classified as
hazardous chemicals as outlined in the new GHS standard.
