Countries or regions such as the European Union, the United States, and Canada usually require SDS/MSDS reports when importing products. These reports help the importer or manufacturer understand the hazardous characteristics, transportation and disposal requirements of the product so that they can take the necessary precautions.
In addition, if the product is classified as dangerous goods, such as flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, etc., an SDS/MSDS report is also required to clarify the product's hazardous characteristics, transportation and disposal requirements, and to take necessary preventive measures.
At the same time, some countries, regions or industry associations have regulatory requirements for specific products or substances and require SDS/MSDS reports. For example, the EU's REACH regulations require the registration, evaluation and authorization of chemical substances and the provision of relevant safety information.
The content of the SDS/MSDS report needs to include the following key information:
1. Chemical and company identification: clearly indicate the name of the chemical, the name of the production company, address, postal code, telephone number, emergency telephone number, fax and email address and other information.
2. Ingredients/composition information: Indicate whether the chemical is a pure chemical or a mixture, and list all ingredients and their content percentages, including the name of the chemical substance and CAS number (Chemical Substance Registration Number). For pure chemicals, the chemical name or trade name and common name should be given; for mixtures, the concentration or concentration range of hazardous components should be given.
3. Physical and chemical properties: including physical properties such as product appearance, color, smell, boiling point, and melting point, as well as chemical properties such as pH value and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
4. Hazard overview: Indicates the main physical and chemical hazard information of chemicals, as well as information on their impact on human health and the environment. If the hazard classification of chemicals has been carried out according to GHS, the GHS hazard category should be indicated, and the GHS label elements should be noted, such as pictograms or symbols, precautionary statements, hazard information and warning words, etc.
5. First aid measures and fire-fighting measures: Provide first-aid measures that should be taken in emergency situations, including antidotes and related first-aid treatment methods, as well as appropriate fire-extinguishing agents and fire-extinguishing methods.
6. Exposure control/personal protection: Describe the protective methods and means adopted to protect workers from the hazards of chemicals during the production, operation, handling, transportation and use of chemicals, such as protective clothing, respirators, protective clothing, etc. Eyepieces etc.
7. Stability and reactivity: Describe the stability of the product and possible incompatibilities, decomposition products and other information.
8. Ecological information: Describe the impact of the product on the environment, including biodegradability, water toxicity, etc.
9. Disposal: Provide information on product disposal, including suggestions for compliance with environmental regulations.
10. Safety measures: including safety measures during product storage, handling, transportation and disposal, as well as emergency procedures.
