Every SDS includes the following EXCEPT: Pricing Information.

• A. Pricing Information
• B. Hazard Identification
• C. First-Aid Measures
• D. Chemical Composition

Answer: (A)

SDSs are documents designed to communicate hazards and safe handling of chemicals. They include sections that tell you what hazards exist (hazard identification), what to do in an exposure or accident (first-aid measures), and what ingredients are present (chemical composition). Pricing information does not inform safety or handling and is not part of an SDS; cost data belongs in procurement or vendor documents and varies by supplier, not by the chemical’s hazards or required controls. Therefore, pricing information is the item that does not belong in an SDS, while hazard identification, first-aid measures, and chemical composition are standard, essential parts of it.
