Risk Characterization

A process for the characterization of product risks based on information collected on hazards, intended uses, and exposures associated with the stages of a product’s lifecycle.
  • Covestro has an internal process that outlines evaluation and communication of the potential risk of Covestro products through the development of risk communication documents to meet our commitments under Responsible Care®, Global Product Strategy (GPS), and the Covestro internal Core Process for Product Stewardship. As part of Covestro’s product stewardship program, products are evaluated and health and safety information is prepared, including Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and product labels, which are prepared in compliance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for our products can be found at

  • Covestro produces information on the safe use and handling of our products. All guidance and information documents can be found here:
