SDSs are a widely used system for cataloguing information on [[chemical]]s, [[chemical compound]]s,
An SDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general [[consumer]], focusing instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting. There is also a duty to properly [[label]] substances on the basis of physico-chemical, health, or environmental risk. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the [[Chemical hazard label#Chemical hazard|European Union standard]] symbols. The same product (e.g. [[Paint|paints]] sold under identical brand names by the same company) can have different formulations in different countries. The [[formulation]] and hazards of a product using a generic name may vary between manufacturers in the same country.
