Sections of the GHS Safety Data Sheet

10. Stability and Reactivity

This section describes the reactivity hazards of the chemical and the chemical stability information. This section is broken into three parts: reactivity, chemical stability, and other. The required information consists of:

  • reactivity
  • chemical stability
  • possibility of hazardous reactions
  • conditions to avoid (e.g., static discharge, shock, or vibration)
  • incompatible materials
  • hazardous decomposition products

11. Toxicological Information

This section identifies toxicological and health effects information or indicates that such data are not available. The required information consists of:

  • Information on the likely routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact);
  • Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics;
  • Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure;
  • Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates).
  • Whether the hazardous chemical is listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report on Carcinogens (latest edition) or has been found to be a potential carcinogen in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs (latest edition), or by OSHA.
