International Chemical Safety Card
- International Chemical Safety Card
International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSCs) are short summaries of health and safety information about chemical compounds designed to be used by workers handling these chemicals. They are produced by the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) in collaboration with the European Commission and various national bodies.
An ICSC is designed to complement a Material Safety Data Sheet, and to be used by individual workers rather than safety specialists. The cards are produced in a standard format, which eases translation between languages. The cards are currently available in HTML or PDF format in sixteen languages, and in paper format in other languages. As of April 2005, 1491 cards are available in English.
