A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document containing information on the potential hazard of a chemical product. It is an essential information in a working place for all users of chemicals. The MSDS app is clearly to better understand all the content of those documents. The MSDS app also helps to understand all the hazardous symbols on the labels, fixed on containers of the chemicals. Whether for the National Fire Protection Association standard (NFPA 704), for the Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS), for the european system described in Annex II Policy 67/548/EEC or for the Global Harmonized System (GHS), the MSDS app is the unique reference!
