A Material Safety Data sheet (MSDS) is a technical and scientific document that provides comprehensive, health, safety and detailed information about controlled products, chemicals or substances that are identified as dangerous and hazardous substances. The data sheet may be printed or written meeting availability, content and design requirements of WHMIS legislation.
Under WHMIS law, the validity period of the MSDS certificate is 3 years and needs to be updated every 3 years.
Manufacturers and importers of hazardous products and substances prepare MSDS certificates by themselves or get them issued from a third-party laboratory meeting WHMIS legislations.
In-depth chemical analyses are carried out by a number of laboratories in order to create and supply manufacturers and suppliers with MSDS certificates. Within its chemical analysis laboratories, Quality Testing Laboratories and Research Center offers a comprehensive variety of chemical analysis services, including the issuance of MSDS certificates.
Lead time to complete MSDS test depends on the product but generally takes around 3-4 business days for the testing.
