TDS, SDS and COA: Which Chemical Documents Do You Need?

Understand the role of a TDS, SDS and batch COA before requesting a file.

Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

Use the current, grade-specific TDS to review identity, typical properties and application information. Typical values are not automatically a contractual specification.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Request the SDS corresponding to the actual product and intended destination. Your handling and compliance team should review the applicable version.

Certificate of Analysis (COA)

A COA relates to a particular batch and its reported test results. A sample COA illustrates the format; it is not proof of a future shipment’s results.

A useful document request

Tell us the product name, grade or specification, destination and which documents your approval process requires. We can then coordinate the relevant manufacturer-document review.
