Posted By Robert Paterson Hi Craig Although I don't know the legislation (if there is any?)but would have thought that it would be better if after receiving the product you should be able to read any data before use. Imagine shoe on other foot, if you received it what language would you like it in. One company I work with had data sheets in a range of languages. Hope that helps Regards Robert Paterson

Posted By Heather Aston Craig In this country, the CHIP Regs require MSDS to be provided in English. An EU supplier not complying with this would be breaking the law. CHIP implements part of the Dangerous Substances and Dangerous Preparations Directives (among others) within the EU, so other EU countries will have similar legislation. I can't quote chapte and verse, but I would say it's a fair bet that they have the same clause in their legislation that we have in ours. So I would say yes you do have to translate if you are supplying the product(s) for comercial use. Note that rules may be different (they are in the UK) for retail products. Heather
