Abstract Since 1 April 1988, Decree No.87-200 of 25 March 1987, incorporated into the French Labour Code as article R.231-46-1, has required suppliers and manufacturers to provide company managers with safety data sheets on the chemicals they supply. This circular takes a look at the results obtained in the two years since the decree came into force and answers the following questions: end-users of data sheets (employers, but also occupational physicians and health and safety committees); definition and colour of data sheets; type of products covered, transmission modes; verification by the labour inspectorate; European prospects.
