A list of relevant internet MSDS databanks and useful information. Since there is a legal obligation in the EC and most other countries to supply the information, larger companies usually make their MSDS available through on-line databanks that maybe open to the general public. Since there is no legal obligation to make the data available to non-industrial users, some of these databanks may only be accessible by customers of the manufacturing/distributing company. The use of databases enables the manufacturers/suppliers to manage world-wide access to, revisions of, and tracking for information for recipients of substances. It is also a convenient way to make MSDS information available to own employees
