Re: Canadian MSDS question

I don't recall the specified period, but WHMIS _does_ require periodic
updates, or at least reviews of the MSDS.  My Canadian contacts are very
uncomfortable if they have an MSDS with a date more than 3-5 years old.  And
the date of last review is required on the document, unlike the US
situation, where it is merely a nice thing.

The WHMIS regulations are available on-line, if you want to look for them.
(I don't have the URL readily at hand here.
