Chemical safety technical manual (Material Safety Data Sheet), referred to as MSDS, international known as chemical safety information card. It is a comprehensive document that chemical manufacturers and distributors must provide according to legal requirements on the combustion and explosion performance, toxicity and environmental hazards of chemicals, as well as safe use, emergency rescue and disposal of leakage, main physical and chemical parameters, laws and regulations, etc. The MSDS briefly describes the hazards of a chemical to human health and the environment and provides information on how to safely handle, store and use the chemical.

As a service provided to users, production enterprises should provide safety instructions to users with chemical commodities, so that users can understand the relevant hazards of chemicals and take the initiative to protect them when using them, so as to reduce occupational hazards and prevent chemical accidents. In the United States, Canada and European countries, companies have a hazardous chemicals management department or an occupational health and environmental science management department, which specializes in reviewing the MSDS provided by chemical suppliers. Only qualified suppliers are eligible for the next step of business contact with the procurement department.

Therefore, MSDS is an important document for conveying chemical hazard information. It contains a series of detailed information and data about chemicals to help users handle and store chemicals safely. It is important for people's safety and health. It usually includes the following:

1. Chemical and enterprise identification: provide chemical name, CAS number (chemical substance registration number), manufacturer or supplier information, etc.

2. Ingredient/composition information: List the main components of the chemical and their concentrations or amounts.

Hazard Overview: Describe the physical and chemical properties of the chemical and its potential health, environmental and safety hazards.

First Aid: Provide first aid measures to be taken after exposure to chemicals.

5. Fire protection measures: explain the applicable fire extinguishing methods and special fire extinguishing precautions.

6. Spill emergency treatment: guide how to take emergency measures in case of chemical leakage to reduce the harm to the environment and personnel.

7. Operation, disposal and storage: Describe the safe operation methods, storage conditions and precautions of chemicals.

Exposure control/personal protection: recommend the protective measures that should be taken when exposed to chemicals, such as wearing appropriate protective clothing and respirators.

9. Physical and chemical properties: A detailed list of the physical and chemical properties of chemicals, such as PH value, flash point, melting point, boiling point, etc.

10. Stability and Reactivity: Describes the stability of a chemical and its reactivity under specific conditions.

11. Toxicological information: provides toxicological data on the health effects of chemicals, such as carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, etc.

12. Ecological information: Describe the impact of chemicals on the environment, such as biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, etc.

13. Waste disposal: Describe how to safely handle and dispose of waste chemicals.

14. Transport Information: Provide special requirements and precautions for the transport of chemicals.

Regulatory Information: List applicable chemical management and safety regulations.
