The purpose of the Standard is to insure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are evaluated and information concerning the hazards are transmitted to affected employees in the manufacturing sector. Employees must be advised of certain hazardous components in excess of 1% and carcinogens in excess of 0.1%. However, the Standard also provides that articles which do not release or otherwise result in exposure to a hazardous chemical under normal conditions of use are exempt.

Avery believes that our products are considered articles which do not release hazardous chemicals under normal conditions of use and are, therefore, exempt from the Standard. In addition, our products do not contain hazardous components in excess of the established limits. Accordingly it is our opinion that there are no provisions in the present OSHA Standard which apply to our products thus requiring the preparation of a Material Safety Data Sheet.

We have made no determination as to whether your use of this product will be suitable for your specific application. As you may know, it is the legal responsibility of you and your customer to determine the suitability of the product containing a pressure sensitive
material for a particular application.
