The guide Henry posted is an International version.

OSHA compliance is introducing some new terminology... But the key here to be aware of for compliance is the formatting

In the past, format for MSDS/SDS were not regimented... They will be soon. The format in Henry's post looks like the one OSHA has adopted.

So having your ducks and having your ducks in a row will be the new requirement in 2015

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers, distributors, or importers to provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs) to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products. As of June 1, 2015, the HCS will require new SDSs to be in a uniform format, and include the section numbers, the headings, and associated information under the headings below:

OSHA is going to more of a European format for the MSDS, SDS is the new MSDS if I understand correctly. Which means guys who are required to carry the MSDS on their trucks, like me will need to update the book to be compliant I believe.
