Options once you find it:

Identity tab: shows the CAS number and synonyms. If the chemical is a PHS it will say “PHS” next
to Regulatory Lists.


Hazards tab: this is where you find the hazard statements, SDS link and link to print hazard
labels for secondary containers.

Docs tab: if the chemical is a PHS, approval forms, signs and training can be found here.

Containers tab: lists all of the individual containers in the inventory of that chemical with
barcodes, product numbers, quantity (container size, not actual quantity on hand), expiration
dates (if applicable), owner and location.

check the Containers tab to find the container you own. Product number is also listed on that page.
Or check the container itself.)
You can also obtain SDSs without logging into CISPro by following this link:
