Under current legislation you must have access to a copy of the original supplier's Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on or before the receipt of a new chemical. The links below represent the main suppliers of chemicals through the Chemistry Store. If, as is the case in many labs, your chemical is old and the supplier no longer exists, only then can you use the MSDS of another supplier.

MSDS obtained from non Australian sources will/may not contain all the information required for compliance with Australian and Victorian legislation or codes of practice. If you are unsure contact the original supplier, importer or manufacturer.
