Chemical Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Chemical Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Material Safety Data Sheet, may be referred to as MSDS. It is used by manufacturers and importers to clarify the physical and chemical characteristics of the product, the data may be harmful to the user manual. The MSDS describes the toxicity, risk and environmental impact of products containing chemicals. Describes the product in the production, use, storage, transportation precautions and emergency disposal methods. Reduce the probability of accidents and accidental losses, has become a safety management system.
MSDS generally includes the following:
1. Material product name and manufacturer's contact information;
2. The chemical composition of the product;
3. Hazard Description;
4. First aid measures;
5. fire fighting measures;
6. Leakage disposal measures;
7. Handling and storage;
8. Exposure and personal protection;
9. Physicochemical properties;
10. Chemical stability;
11. Toxicity
12. Ecological Information
13. Disposal methods
14. Transport
15. Regulatory standards
16. Other Information
The above sixteen international MSDS version.
MSDS and product testing reports, production specifications are the same as the production of information in the supply chain supply important information. In the EU REACH system has a specific MSDS (Annex Ⅱ). MSDS is one of the necessary technical information for exporting products.
The necessity of MSDS:
1.MSDS is not for hazardous chemicals to do. For example: LDPE, SiO2, alloy materials, food contact materials are required to do MSDS.
2.MSDS listed as a supplier of quality control, play a role in the safety of production. General factory dangerous goods warehouse should be posted dangerous materials stored MSDS.
3.MSDS is based on chemical substance evaluation in the product. Raw materials have chemical changes in the production process Product safety data needs to be re-evaluated, based on the assessment of the raw material MSDS and the actual product performance. For example: leather shoes used in the production of glue, before use for the liquid have a certain degree of danger and danger of bonding after curing harm and reduce the risk of dangerous chemical changes.
4.MSDS material changes in the proportion of safety needs to be re-evaluated. For example: paint thinner. By acetone, toluene, petroleum hydrocarbons and other compounds together, although the physical mixing but the chemical properties should be re-evaluated.
5. If only manual packaging and assembly are involved (no chemical changes), the customer can stock raw materials MSDS into a book. For example: The manufacturer of the key may provide the MSDS of the key embryo provided to him by the key manufacturer of the key.
MSDS of professional
All countries in the world, such as the United States, Canada, and so on, all have fixed requirements on the MSDS of products.
US OSHA required MSDS
First: Manufacturers and contact methods
Second: Hazardous Chemicals Components
Third: Physical and chemical properties
Fourth: Combustion and Explosion Data
Fifth: Reactivity Data
Sixth: Health Hazard Data
Seventh: safe operation and use
Eighth: Protection methods
WHMIS Canada requests
First: product name and manufacturer information
Second: Hazardous Chemicals Components
Third: physical characteristics
Fourth: fire or explosion data
Fifth: Reactivity Data
Sixth: Toxicology features
Seventh: Preventive measures
Eighth: First aid method
Ninth: Preparation of information
The narrative used in the MSDS is a standard statement is a fixed statement, the use of dangerous and toxic and hazardous substances rating is also fixed, the use of dangerous, toxic, harmful, protective conditions used in the logo is also fixed. This is because it is easier to manage as a national customs and chemical management unit. They built a standardized database. After the authorization and purchase can check in order to correspond to the product of the MSDS production.
