pH and corrosivity
A pH of 2 or less, or 11.5 or more, points to a corrosive classification unless data such as acid or alkaline reserve show otherwise.
Corrosive, irritant or neither: classifications that match your formula and its pH.
Cleaning products are where pH and composition most often disagree with section 2. We check both, along with the line between consumer and workplace rules.
Cleaning and janitorial products
What we see most often.
Consumer or workplace
In Canada, consumer chemical products fall under consumer product rules, while products sold for workplace use need WHMIS SDSs and labels. Many ranges have both.
Bilingual labels and SDSs
Products sold in Canada need English and French labels and SDSs, with the label matching section 2.
Your own workplace
Cleaning companies are employers too. Our SDS library service keeps the SDSs for every product your crews use complete and current.
