Where is Disposal Considerations located in an SDS?

• A. Section 11
• B. Section 12
• C. Section 13
• D. Section 14

Answer: (C)

Disposal guidance is placed in the part of the SDS that covers waste management and disposal requirements. This section provides how to properly dispose of the product and its containers, along with any waste classification and regulatory requirements. In the standard 16-section SDS format, this topic is addressed in the disposal considerations section. Other sections cover hazards and health effects, first-aid, handling and storage, exposure controls, physical properties, and transport or regulatory information, so they do not provide disposal guidance. So the disposal considerations are located in the section devoted to disposal.
