Question: If a supplier becomes aware of 'significant new data' that changes how a product is classified, they must update the SDS and labels within how many days?

Answer options:

  • 1 year
  • 30 days ✅ 90 days
  • 180 days

Correct answer: 90 days

Explanation: Supplier labels must be bordered by a 'hashed' or 'dashed' line in WHMIS 1988, but in WHMIS 2015, the border requirement is no longer specifically a 'hatched' border; however, all elements must be legible and stand out. More importantly, SDSs must be updated within 90 days of new significant information. This question tests the 'Significant New Data' rule.
