Material Safety Data Sheet安全数据表
A Material Safety Data Sheet is a document that identifies the hazards, composition, handling precautions, and emergency-response measures for a chemical substance or mixture. In manufacturing and localization documents, it appears as a controlled safety document that must be translated consistently for labels, workplace instructions, and regulatory submissions, where wording affects safe handling.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter MSDS content in the chemical safety sections of equipment manuals, plant signage, and regulatory packages that accompany imported materials. Localization teams often work with text exported from safety data sheet authoring systems, including hazard codes, first-aid measures, and storage requirements, where consistent terminology across languages is critical because downstream users rely on these instructions.
Translation checks
A frequent mistake is treating the older term MSDS and the newer SDS as two different document types or using a non-standard local title that obscures the safety meaning. Translators may also render hazard statements too casually, for example turning “may cause respiratory irritation” into “can bother breathing,” which weakens the warning and may conflict with the source hazard communication system.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
