MSDS/SDS testing process
1. Determine requirements based on product and destination
- First, the product sales destination must be clarified, because different countries and even different states in the same country (such as the United States) have their own regulations and format requirements for MSDS/SDS. For example, the EU has CLP regulations (EC No 1272/2008), REACH regulations (EC No 1907/2006), EU No2015/830 (16 items); the United States has OSHA29CFR1910.1200 (HCS) (11 or 16 items) and other relevant regulations. MSDS/SDS reports need to be written according to these requirements, and the chemical data and hazard classification of the product and ingredients must be consulted to complete the report preparation.
2. Chemical identification
- Clarify the name, composition, concentration and other information of the chemical to be tested. This is the basis for subsequent testing. Only by accurately identifying the chemical can it be ensured that it is correctly tested.
3. Provide samples and fill in the application form (ingredient list)
- Provide samples according to the requirements of the testing agency, fill in the application form (ingredient list), and provide necessary information about the product ingredients.
4. Sign a contract
- Sign a contract with the testing agency to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties and ensure the smooth progress of the testing work.
5. Pay the money
- Pay the money required for the test according to the contract.
6. Prepare MSDS
- Prepare MSDS based on the results of the previous chemical identification. The content should cover the name, composition, hazard assessment, usage guidelines, first aid measures, leakage treatment methods, etc. of the chemical. If the chemical is a composite product or contains additives or reaction by-products, the compiler needs to carefully evaluate the product's toxicological properties and other potential hazards to ensure that the prepared MSDS complies with the laws and regulations on hazardous chemicals in the country and region where the buyer is located.
7. Laboratory testing (some cases)
- Send the chemicals to be tested to a professional laboratory for testing. The laboratory will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the chemical's physical and chemical properties, toxicity, carcinogenicity, corrosiveness, reactivity, etc. However, not all MSDS/SDS testing processes explicitly mention this step, which depends on the specific situation.
8. Data evaluation (some cases)
- Evaluate the safety of chemicals based on the test data provided by the laboratory (if there is a laboratory test step). This helps to accurately determine the degree of danger of chemicals and other related information.
9. Engineers provide draft reports
- Professional engineers provide draft reports based on the results of the previous process for the relevant parties to preliminarily review whether the content is accurate and complete.
10. Update MSDS (if necessary)
- Update MSDS based on the data evaluation results (if any) to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its information. And as the composition and properties of chemicals may change, MSDS should be updated regularly. According to regulatory requirements, MSDS should be updated at least once a year.
11. Obtain formal report
- Obtain a formal MSDS/SDS report after completing all processes and reviewing them correctly.
