Granular Activated Carbon MSDS / SDS Request
Request a product-matched carbon safety data sheet with its version and language. Keep hazard communication separate from COA and performance approval.
Identify the proposed carbon product, required document language and intended review when requesting an SDS. The cited Calgon guidance describes Safety Data Sheets as formerly called Material Safety Data Sheets. Use that reference for terminology and request a product-matched document from the actual supplier; it does not establish a GBL document version or transport classification.
