What is required on a chemical label?
All labels are required to have pictograms, a signal word, hazard and precautionary statements, the product identifier, and supplier identification. A sample revised HCS label, identifying the required label elements, is shown on the right. Supplemental information can also be provided on the label as needed.
How do you read a hazard label?
Hazard ratings range from 0 to 4, with 4 being the most hazardous. These are used for 3 categories: health (blue), flammability (red), and instability (yellow). For example, if the substance has a low risk for flammability, a “1” may appear in the Flammability section.
What is 718 alloy used for?
Alloy 718 is a precipitation hardenable nickel-based alloy designed to display exceptionally high yield, tensile and creep-rupture properties at temperatures up to 1300°F. The sluggish age-hardening response of alloy 718 permits annealing and welding without spontaneous hardening during heating and cooling.
Are there any labelling requirements for MSDs?
MSDS labelling requirements. OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA’s interpretation of the requirements discussed.

What does MSDS stand for?
As both of your letters indicate, you have properly directed your recommendations regarding Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
