identity or generic name of an ingredient that makes up a hazardous chemical is disclosed, the proportions of the ingredients must also be disclosed in an SDS.
For multiple ingredients, proportions should be listed in descending order by mass or volume. Ingredients not contributing to the hazard classification should also be listed, and where included, should be listed after the ingredients contributing to the hazard classification.
However, where the exact concentration of an ingredient is commercially confidential, the concentration of the ingredient can be disclosed using the following ranges:
    * <10%
    * 10- <30%
    * 30 – 60%
    * >60%
The proportion of an ingredient should normally be disclosed using a narrower range, for example, for an ingredient present at 35%, a range of 30 - 40% should be used instead of 30 - 60%.
Where possible, the percentage composition should add up to or indicate a total of 100%, even if an estimate of non-hazardous ingredients needs to be provided.

3.4 Section 4 – First Aid Measures
This section of the SDS provides information about the initial care that does not involve the use
of sophisticated equipment or access to a wide selection of medications to be given to a person affected by a hazardous chemical. It should state whether medical attention is required for a chemical, including the urgency of treatment required.
A SDS should provide information on any immediate effects of the chemical, by route of exposure, and the immediate treatment required. It should also include information on the possible delayed effects of the chemical and on specific health surveillance that may be needed.

Description of necessary first aid measures  In this section, the SDS should provide first aid instructions for each relevant route of exposure and describe expected immediate and delayed symptoms. Sub-headings to indicate the procedure for each route (for example, inhalation, skin contact, eye contact and ingestion) should be used.
                                             Information should be provided on situations when:
                                                 * immediate medical attention is required
                                                 * known antidotes should be available for administration by persons trained in their use (and, where relevant, authorised by law) as part
                                                   of the recommended first aid procedure
                                                 * delayed effects can be expected after exposure
                                                 * movement of the exposed individual to fresh air is recommended
                                                 * removal of clothing and shoes from the individual is recommended
                                                 * personal protective equipment (PPE) for first aiders is recommended
                                                 * there is a risk that first aiders may be exposed to risks from individuals who have ingested hazardous chemicals (for example, organophosphates).
                                             Any information on specific first aid facilities, for example showers or eyewashes that are necessary in a workplace where the particular hazardous chemical is used, should also be provided.
