SDS sources & collection methods

About this collection

RESDS is a public Safety Data Sheet library for chemicals, materials and products. The publisher named on each record is the document’s original supplier or issuing organization. RESDS hosts a copy; it does not issue, certify or endorse that SDS.

Original files and searchable text

Original PDFs are retained and identified by a SHA-256 file checksum. A matching checksum identifies the same file; it does not verify the accuracy of its safety statements. Full text is extracted page by page in the original language. OCR is identified where used. Formatting, tables, symbols and recognition errors must be checked against the original PDF.

Dates, materials and versions

The original SDS revision is copied from the document. “Added to RESDS” is the date this copy was published here, and “Record updated” is the date its substantive website content changed. Neither means the supplier revised the SDS on that date. All versions held here remain available; ask the supplier for its latest applicable version.

Material indexes use product-identification metadata. Element associations use the original identification and composition sections, with page references shown on each document. They do not infer composition from incidental words elsewhere in the SDS. CAS-reference indexes may include mixture components. An unclassified record remains searchable. Community uploads and source links are not automatically independently verified.
