Safety Data Sheets for NON HAZMAT Products (USA, CA and AU)

1. Introduction – Why Voluntary SDS Are Important for Supply-Chain Transparency

Even when a product is not classified as hazardous under U.S. or Canadian regulations, a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is often requested by distributors, transporters, and Amazon USA / Canada to demonstrate transparency and due diligence. Voluntary or informational SDSs serve as formal documentation confirming that the product has been evaluated under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and WHMIS 2015 Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR).

Phoenix Safety Consultants prepares non-hazardous SDSs in full GHS format for manufacturers, importers, and private-label sellers, providing professional documentation recognised by commercial buyers and Amazon Seller Central compliance systems.

2. Applicable Standards – OSHA HazCom 2012 and WHMIS 2015

Our SDSs follow the internationally harmonised GHS Revision 7 structure and align with both U.S. and Canadian regulatory frameworks:

• OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Appendix D) – Specifies the 16-section SDS format and content for U.S. products, including voluntary use for non-classified materials.
• WHMIS 2015 / HPR Schedule 1 – Defines the same 16-section structure for Canadian markets, requiring bilingual (English / French) presentation when supplied nationally.
• Amazon Marketplace Requirements – Accept GHS-formatted SDSs, even for non-HAZMAT products, as proof of conformity with OSHA and Health Canada expectations.

Phoenix Safety Consultants ensures every SDS meets cross-border formatting, terminology, and presentation standards for smooth acceptance by U.S. and Canadian authorities.

3. What’s Included – 16 Sections in GHS Format for Non-Hazardous Goods
