basic introduction

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the chemical safety technical specification, which can also be translated into chemical safety specification or chemical safety data specification. It is used by chemical manufacturers and importers to clarify the physical and chemical characteristics of chemicals (such as PH value, flash point, flammability, reactivity, etc.) and the possible harm to users' health (such as carcinogenic, teratogenic, etc.) One document.

In European countries, the material safety technology/data sheet MSDS is also called the safety technology/data sheet SDS (Safety Data Sheet). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) uses SDS terminology, while the United States, Canada, Australia, and many countries in Asia use MSDS terminology.

MSDS is a comprehensive legal document on chemical characteristics provided by chemical production or sales companies to customers in accordance with legal requirements. It provides sixteen items including the physical and chemical parameters of chemicals, explosion performance, health hazards, safe use and storage, leakage disposal, first aid measures and related laws and regulations. MSDS can be written by the manufacturer according to relevant rules. But in order to ensure the accuracy and standardization of the report, you can apply to a professional institution for compilation.

SDS difference

Both the European Union and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) use SDS terminology. However, in the United States, Canada, Australia and many countries in Asia, SDS (Safety Data Sheet) can also be used as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). The role of the two technical documents Basically the same.

my country was called CSDS in the standard GBT16483-2000 before 2008, and in the newly revised standard GBT16483-2008 "Content and Project Order of Chemical Safety Data Sheets" in 2008, it was unified with the International Organization for Standardization, abbreviated as SDS.

The two abbreviations of SDS and MSDS play the same role in the supply chain, with only slight differences in content.

document content

Whether in domestic or international trade, sellers must provide declarative laws for products

Law file. Since the legal documents for chemical management and trade vary from country to country and even from state to state, and some may change every month, if the provided MSDS is incorrect or the information is incomplete, you will face legal responsibility. Therefore, the quality of MSDS writing is an important symbol to measure a company's strength, image and management level.

The MSDS report information is as follows:

There is a number of items that must be completed for each MSDS. These projects are divided into parts to solve specific problems as follows:

1-Material and company logo

Chemical name-The usual IUPAC or CAS name is given. You can also give other common names and product names, CAS registration number-required by OSHA, but most countries have legal regulations, the reporting date-requires Japanese literature or the latest update date.

2-Material composition and composition information

The composition of the mixture-including all harmful substances exceeding 1% and all carcinogenic substances exceeding 0.1%. OSHA PEL-Whether the time-weighted average limit is 8 hours per day or the maximum concentration exposure limit is on the OSHA list of items. In ppm or mg/m³. ACGIH TLV-Maximum exposure limit, recommended by the US Government Industrial Hygiene Conference

3-Hazard identification

Health effects-Acute and chronic effects of target organs or systems that adversely affect over-exposed carcinogenic materials and test results.

4-First aid measures

Exposure-treatment of inhalation, ingestion, eye contact, skin contact

5-Fire fighting measures.

Fire and explosion data-usually includes: flash point-temperature at which chemical vapors can be ignited Auto-ignition temperature-at temperature, limits of spontaneous combustion of chemicals in the air-above and below the concentration in the air, It can not burn the recommended fire extinguishing materials. Unusual fire and explosion hazards.It provides basic instructions for solving the fire situation.It may include NFPA diamond marks.

6-Accidental release measures

Procedures for clearing small and large spills Specific provisions for chemical spills around CITES

7-Operation and storage

Provide safe storage of related materials and provide safe use of related materials

8-Exposure control/personal protection

Types of protective equipment including gloves, clothing, eye protection, respiratory protection, if a hood, glove box or additional ventilation is necessary. Management controls such as preplacement and regular medical examination will indicate the type of shower and eyewash facilities.

9-Physical and chemical properties

Generally includes such chemical information as boiling point, melting point, vapor pressure, specific gravity, solubility in water, and evaporation rate physical properties such as physical state, appearance and odor

10-Stability/Response

Indicates a stable substance, what causes instability and incompatibility, and if dangerous decomposition products are possible, conditions can also be included.

11-Toxicological information

Includes one or more of the following operations:

LC50 (50 lethal concentration 50)-gas or micrograms per liter of dust or smoke material in the air, the concentration of the dose test in ppm, 50% of the dead animals are exposed to a single exposure management

The information contained may affect the reproductive system

12-Ecological information

The materials that can be used to provide information about the impact of the material can have on the fate of plants and animals, and provide relevant materials on the environment

13-Disposal considerations

Appropriate waste disposal methods

14-Transport information

Provide basic shipping requirements-shipping name and classification, packaging requirements and quantity restrictions

15-Regulatory information

EPA and OSHA regulations related to CITES

16-Other information
