The correct answer is Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
MSDS is used to properly archive and classify all the necessary information regarding chemical substances and mixtures. It is mainly focused on providing information needed to work with these chemical compounds, rather than use them as a general consumer. MSDS typically includes sections such as general product information; physical, reactivity and explosion hazard data; toxicological properties of the substance(s) and information on any preventive and first aid measures.
