Safer Substitutes are materials which offer comparable performance and applications to conventional but with the benefit of reduced environmental and/or health hazards.*
For many products, evidence for this characteristic will be achieved through assessment of human health and environmental hazard GHS classification and EU CLP Regulation (SDS section 2) of a conventional material compared with an equivalent material showing lower hazard than the conventional material, or other supplier documentation containing this data. If SDS section 2 is general or not clearly comparable, more information will be required.
In the U.S., OSHA does not require as mandatory information environmental hazard GHS classifications to be included on the SDS. For these U.S. products, comparison evidence will require review of the available Ecotoxicological data to demonstrate that a product is a safer substitute.
