Safety Data Sheets for Amazon USA and CA Products

1. Introduction – OSHA and WHMIS Requirements for SDS

Every chemical product sold or distributed through Amazon USA or Amazon Canada must be supported by a fully compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prepared in accordance with the U.S. OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and the Canadian WHMIS 2015 Hazardous Products Regulations (SOR/2015-17). The SDS provides essential hazard information for workers, consumers, and emergency responders and is legally required for any product classified as hazardous under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Phoenix Safety Consultants prepares professionally authored, bilingual (English / French) SDS documents for both U.S. and Canadian markets, meeting all Amazon Seller Central documentation and compliance requirements.

2. Regulatory Alignment with GHS 2015

Our SDS preparation service follows the latest GHS Revision 7 framework, ensuring cross-border regulatory consistency and marketplace acceptance. Each document complies with:

• OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 (HazCom 2012): U.S. requirements for GHS classification, labeling, and SDS format.
• WHMIS 2015 / HPR (SOR/2015-17): Canada’s GHS-aligned standard requiring bilingual content and supplier obligations.
• Amazon USA & CA Hazardous Product Policies: Platform-specific formatting and validation for document uploads.

This regulatory alignment guarantees acceptance by both U.S. and Canadian authorities and satisfies Amazon’s internal compliance verification process.

3. What’s Included in a Compliant SDS

Each SDS authored by Phoenix Safety Consultants includes all 16 mandatory GHS sections with accurate, up-to-date regulatory data and hazard classification:

1. Identification of the substance or mixture and supplier
2. Hazard identification (GHS classification and label elements)
3. Composition / information on ingredients

This SDS authoring service is critical for:

• Amazon USA and Canada sellers of chemical, cosmetic, or household products.
