Data, Transportation Data and Disposal Data for Hazardous Materials
Furnished to Government Activities, establishes the requirement for
preparation and submission of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in lieu of

As a result of this change, GSA revised Federal Standard No. 313-E
requiring Safety Data Sheets for classifying chemicals and communicating
the applicable information on labels.

In accordance with the revised standard after June 1, 2015:

1. Suppliers will be required to submit, to the contracting officer for
review and approval prior to award, safety data sheets consistent with
the requirements found at 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 for hazardous materials
delivered to the Government.

2. Suppliers will also be required to submit, to the contracting officer
for review and approval prior to award, Hazardous Communication Standard
(HCS) labels in accordance with 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 requirements or
current Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), Federal Hazardous Substance
Act (FHSA) labels when subject to labeling requirements under those
statutes. This product labeling is required for hazardous materials
delivered to the Government.

3. Finally, suppliers must train their employees on the new safety data
sheets, hazardous communication labels, and requirements of 29 C.F.R.
1910.1200.
