Regulations That Apply to Petroleum & Lubricants
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200)
Requires a safety data sheet for every hazardous chemical in a US workplace, and sets the classification rules a petroleum SDS must follow.
UN GHS aspiration hazard criteria
Hydrocarbons are the defining aspiration-hazard class; whether a fuel, base oil or lubricant is classified turns on its kinematic viscosity measured at 40 °C.
EU CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Governs classification, labelling and packaging for product placed on the EU market.
WHMIS / Hazardous Products Act
Sets the Canadian supplier label and SDS requirements for hazardous products sold or imported into Canada.
Regulatory references reviewed August 2026, each linked to its primary source. This page is general information about the documentation Quantum SDS produces, not compliance advice, and requirements change — confirm the current rule that applies to your product before relying on it, or talk to our team.
