Australia Model Code of Practice: Preparation of Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals s9: Section 9: give the listed physical and chemical properties for the chemical as supplied, with units, methods and interpretation, stating where data are unavailable rather than leaving blanks or 'N/A'

What does s9 require?

Section 9 should describe the chemical as supplied (for a mixture, the mixture's data, or failing that the most relevant ingredients) and give, where relevant and with units and reference conditions: physical state, colour, odour, melting or freezing point, boiling point or initial boiling point and range, flammability, lower and upper explosion or flammability limits, flash point, auto-ignition and decomposition temperatures, pH, kinematic viscosity, solubility, the n-octanol/water partition coefficient, vapour pressure, density or relative density, relative vapour density and particle characteristics. The interpretation and test method should be given where relevant, and where no data exist that should be stated instead of leaving blanks or writing 'N/A'. Other safety-relevant parameters should be added, especially for engineered nanomaterials (for example biopersistence, crystallinity, agglomeration, dustiness, particle size and distribution, redox potential, surface area and coating, shape and aspect ratio), as should properties the GHS Appendix 4 recommends for certain hazard classes.
