The MSDS provides the receiver with detailed information concerning material identity, emergency response, chemical and physical characteristics, toxicology, and industrial hygiene procedures. State and federal law dictate who is obligated to provide the MSDS and to whom it should be issued. In addition, thirdparty providers or others with no statutory obligation may voluntarily provide an MSDS to anyone. This transaction set allows for transmission of MSDS data in a structured, unstructured, or semistructured form. CAUTION: With this transaction set, text format is critical due to the MSDS’s primary role as a vehicle for hazards communication. The risk if this information is not transmitted clearly and accurately could be harmful to human life, harmful to the environment, could cause mishandling of product, could result in regulatory noncompliance, and could result in liability. Trading partners need to agree on how to interpret, store, and display/print MSDS text, especially text contained in the MSG and SD1 segments. For example, a sender may wish to format text so that one print line is mapped to one MSG segment. Segment terminator and data element delimiter characters shall not appear in any MSDS data.
