Actually, even before GHS/HazCom 2012, I thought it was relatively common
for MSDS in the US market to fail to identify  the majority of a mixture (by
weight) because of a claim that it was not hazardous.

Thanks for Monona and Bob for your replies on this question. It sounds like
GHS is making life more complicated in its early stages...
