|
Claims are assessed against regulatory criteria which establish when a trade secret is deemed to
exist. A valid trade secret claim permits the supplier to withhold information that would normally
be included in the product’s MSDS. All claims for which a decision was issued this year met the
criteria.

Appeals
In 12 years, 16 appeals have been filed and appeal boards have ruled on 51 order items.
Seven appeals have been withdrawn prior to the issuance of a decision by an appeal board.
MSDS Violation Statistics
The Commission is finding fewer violations and we believe that this is due to our clients having more
experience preparing MSDSs and more knowledge about what is required for compliance.
