What is the focus of Section 1 of the Safety Data Sheet?

Section 1 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is focused on the identification of the substance or mixture and the supplier. This section provides essential information such as the product name, the chemical identity, and contact details for the supplier. This information is crucial for emergency responders, workers, and anyone handling the chemical to ensure they can identify the substance in question and reach out to the supplier for more information or support if needed.

Providing clear identification helps prevent confusion regarding similar products and ensures that everyone involved in using the substance has a common understanding of what they are working with. The details included in Section 1 establish a foundation for the rest of the SDS, ensuring users can readily access pertinent safety and handling information for the chemical in question.
