Eco-friendly marketing doesn't change the GHS rules, the SDS classifies whatever your formulation actually does, not what the label says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAerosol brake cleaner vs. liquid brake cleaner, do I need different SDS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Format alone changes the classification. An aerosol is a pressurised product with a flammable propellant and ships as UN1950; a bulk liquid is a flammable-liquid classification (often UN1993) without the aerosol class. The chemistry may be similar but the SDS for each is genuinely different, and each SKU needs its own sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SDS the same as California CARB \/ VOC compliance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. California's CARB Consumer Products Regulation sets VOC limits and other requirements for car care chemicals sold in California, and several other states follow similar rules. The SDS reports VOC content in Section 9 and can reference CARB where relevant, but a compliant SDS does not by itself make your product CARB-compliant; that's a separate formulation and registration matter. We can flag VOC information accurately on the SDS, but we don't author CARB compliance submissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the same SDS for the US and other markets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot automatically. The US uses OSHA HazCom 2024, the EU uses REACH\/CLP, the UK uses UK REACH and GB CLP, Canada uses the Amended HPR (WHMIS, with bilingual English-French), and Australia uses WHS.
