Material Safety Data Sheets

Baxter Corporation does not require Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for any of its currently approved products as per Section 12 of the Hazardous Products Act (HPA).

• A product, material or substance which falls within any of the hazard criteria set out in sections 33 to 65 of the CPR is a "controlled product" and, unless excluded under section 12 of the HPA, is subject to the supplier MSDS and label requirements of the HPA if the controlled product is sold or imported for use in a Canadian workplace. It is the responsibility of the party marketing the product in Canada or the Canadian importer to assess the product against the classification criteria of the CPR.



• Section 12 of the HPA excludes certain product categories from the federal Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) requirement to apply a supplier label and to transmit an MSDS. These categories are: food; drugs; cosmetics; medical devices; pesticides; explosives; radioactive materials (except controlled product carrier materials in radionuclide mixtures); consumer "restricted" products; wood and products made of wood; tobacco and products made of tobacco; manufactured articles; and hazardous waste.

Baxter Corporation continues to strive to provide patients and healthcare workers with the most current and concise information possible. Any applicable handling requirements will be captured on Baxter Corporation Product Labeling.
