MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the abbreviation of Material Safety Technical Specification, which can also be translated as Material Safety Specification or Chemical Safety Data Sheet. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is another name for it. The two are basically the same in content, but the description of this document is slightly different in different regions. The following is what MSDS/SDS reports usually contain:
1. Chemicals and company information
Chemical name (Chinese and English)
CAS number (Chemical Abstracts Index Registration Number)
Name, address, telephone number and other contact information of the producer or supplier
2. Chemical properties
Appearance, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility and other physical and chemical properties
3. Hazard Overview
Hazard category (such as flammable, explosive, toxic, etc.)
Intrusion route (such as inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, etc.)
Health hazards, environmental hazards and combustion and explosion hazards
4. First aid measures
Describe first aid methods in case of skin contact, eye contact, inhalation and ingestion
5. Firefighting measures
Hazardous characteristics (such as flammable, explosive, etc.)
Fire extinguishing methods and selection of fire extinguishing agents
6. Emergency treatment of leaks
Describe emergency treatment measures in case of leaks, including personal protection, leak control, cleaning methods, etc.
7. Operation and storage
Operation precautions (such as avoiding static electricity, staying away from fire sources, etc.)
Storage conditions and storage precautions (such as temperature, humidity, isolation, etc.)
8. Contact control and personal protection
Occupational exposure limit
Engineering control measures (such as ventilation, isolation, etc.)
Recommendations for personal protective equipment for the respiratory system, body, eyes, hands, etc.
IX. Physical and chemical properties
Detailed data such as appearance, melting point, boiling point, relative density, flash point, ignition temperature, explosion limit, etc.
X. Stability and reactivity
Description of stability
Possibility of reaction with other substances
Prohibited incompatibility
XI. Toxicological information
Data such as acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, irritation, etc.
XII. Ecological information
Effects on aquatic organisms, terrestrial organisms and soil
Other harmful effects
XIII. , waste disposal
Waste precautions
Waste treatment methods (it is recommended to follow national and local regulations)
XIV. Transportation information
Transportation packaging requirements
Transportation precautions (such as avoiding high temperatures, avoiding direct sunlight, etc.)
XV. Regulatory information
Applicable chemical management regulations and standards (such as REACH, CLP, etc.)
XVI. Other information
Other information related to chemical safety (such as references, additional instructions, etc.)
The quality of MSDS/SDS report writing is an important indicator of a company's strength, image and management level. Due to differences in legal documents on chemical management and trade in different countries or even in different regions within a country, the writing of MSDS/SDS must comply with the laws and regulations of the buyer's country or region.
