Editing Datasheet (section)

==Product datasheet information==
A product data sheet (PDS), like any datasheet, has a different data model per category. It typically contains:<ref>{{cite web |title=What is Product Information Management? |url=https://iceclog.com/pim-for-rich-media-assets-and-other-data/ |website=Iceclog.com |date=26 August 2019 |publisher=Icecat }}</ref>
* Identifiers like manufacturer and manufacturer product code, [[GTIN]]
* Classification data, such as [[UNSPSC]]
* Descriptions such as marketing texts
* Specifications
* Product images
* Feature logos
* Reasons-to-buy
* Leaflets, typically as PDFs
* Manuals, typically in PDF.
* Product videos, 3D objects, and other rich media assets

In [[Open Icecat]], the global open catalog or [[open content]] project in which hundreds of manufacturers and thousands of e-commerce sellers participate, the data models of tens of thousands of taxonomy classes are defined, and millions of free PDSs can be found conforming these data-sheet data models.

===Material safety data sheets===
A [[Safety data sheet|material safety data sheet]] (MSDS), safety data sheet (SDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is an important component of product stewardship and occupational safety and health. These are required by agencies such as OSHA in its Hazard Communication Standard, 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200. It provides workers with ways to allow them to work in a safe manner and gives them physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. The MSDSs differ from country to country, as different countries have different regulations. In some jurisdictions, it is compulsory for the SDS to state the chemical's risks, safety, and effect on the environment.

The SDSs are a commonly used classification for logging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. The SDSs often include the safe use of the chemical and the hazardous nature of the chemical. Anytime chemicals are used these datasheets will be found.

There is a need to have an internationally recognized symbol when describing hazardous substances. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, used to denote a harmful substance.

The purpose of an SDS is not so that the general public will have a knowledge of how to read and understand it, but more so that it can be used in an occupational setting to allow workers to be able to work with it.

===Chemical data===
Datasheets and pages are available for specific properties of chemicals in [[chemical elements data references]]: example, [[melting points of the elements (data page)]]. Specific materials have technical data in individual sheets such as [[Ethanol (data page)|ethanol]]: this includes subjects such as structure and properties, thermodynamic properties, spectral data, vapor pressure, etc. Other chemical datasheets are available from individual producers of chemicals, often on their web pages.
