rhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . . . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes,

to ensure product reliability . . . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's

competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One

of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of

measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering,

manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government.

As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and

applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and

advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303.

Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below. For more information contact the Publications and Program Inquiries Desk, 301-975-3058.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)

develops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers

and resources. As part of the overall federal effort to establish a single face to industry for conducting

electronic commerce, ITL has been designated as the organization responsible for coordinating the

development of Federal Implementation Conventions (ICs) for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ICs are

defined by functional-area experts who create and select options from standard EDI Transaction Sets to

yield the implementations to be used for practical EDI. These ICs are made available to federal agencies

and industry by electronic means and this Special Publication Series.

848 Material Safety Data Sheet

Functional Group ID=MS

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Material Safety Data

Sheet Transaction Set (848) for use within an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to communicate chemical characteristics, hazards, and precautions for the safe handling and use of a

material. The transaction set is intended to convey the information required for a Material Safety Data Sheet

(MSDS) as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication

Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 ui the United States, and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

(WHIMS) in Canada, and various state, province, and local requirements under right-to-know legislation.The MSDS

provides the receiver with detailed information conceming 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, third-party 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 semi-structured 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 non-compliance, 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 SDl 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. WARNING: Alteration of the

original document will occur if the EDI translator or application software converts characters to uppercase. This may

adversely affect the appearance, effectiveness, clarity, readability, and communicability of the printed MSDS

document.

Notes:

1. This implementation convention provides thefully structuredformatfor the submission ofa Material Safety

Data Sheet (MSDS). The intent ofthis format is to allowfor the automatedpopulation ofa database. The

Federal Government seeks to maximize the use ofthis convention for that purpose.

2. This data requirement conforms with the Chemical Manufacturer's Association ANSI Z400.1 national

standardfor MSDSpreparation andprovides for Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Warning Label

information.

3. Strict version control ofeach MSDSfor unique products andformulations is required. The primary method

for MSDS identification is through a linkage between a unique MSDS reference number, a revision number if applicable, a manufacturer's part number, a CAGE (commercial and government entity) code, and MSDS

effective date. Priority should be given to this data when identifying a unique product.

4. Send only one MSDSper transaction.

5. The ANSI Z400 MSDS structure requires a Section Headerfor each specified section ofthe MSDS. Ifno

information is applicable or available, an indicative message in 2/MSG/050 mustfollow the section identification information, for example, "no data available," "not applicable", or "found in another section."

Transaction Set Notes

1. LIN loop is product level. MSS is section level. The first SDl loop is safety data relating to the section only.

The first CID loop is for complex measurements on safety data. LX loop is used to specify product

characteristics, components, or complex measurements (i.e., those with environmental parameters). The

second SDl loop is safety data relating to a particular product characteristic or component. The second CID

loop is for complex measurements on safety data, which related to a particular product characteristic or component.

2. Regulation notifications can be contained in MSS or SDl or both.

3. Trading partners must agree on a convention for text processing that will not split words, and which can convey correct meaning, m successive SDl or MSG segments.

4. Regulation notifications can be contained in MSS or SDl or both.

5. Trading partners must agree on a convention for text processing that will not split words, and which can convey correct meaning, in successive SDl or MSG segments.

6. The number of line items (CTTOl) is the accumulation of the number of LIN segments. Hash total (CTT02)

is not used in this transaction set.

1 LINOl is the line item identification

1 See the Data Dictionary for a complete list of ID's. 2 LIN02 through LIN31 provide for fifteen (15) different product/service ID's for each

item. For Example: Case, Color, Drawing No., UPC No., ISBN No., Model No.,

SKU.

/. Use only 2/LIN/OlO in cancellation transactions to identify the material associated

with the cancelled MSDS.

2. Use all necessary segments in the 2/LIN/OlO loop in original and replacement

transactions to identify the specific MSDS content.

3. Use data element 235/234 pairs to identify data pertinent to the transaction. Unless

otherwise specified, the multiple codes listedfor a single qualifier data element identify the range ofpossible data requirements. When needed, use the next available

combination ofdata element 235/234 pairs to provide the necessary data.

4. The most desirable means ofitem identification is manufacturer's part number and

CAGE Code. However, MSDS submitters may use other authorized coding alternatives

to identify the materialfor which the MSDS is prepared. This information will be used

in conjunction with an MSDS reference number, MSDS revision number, and MSDS

effective date to uniquely identify any individual MSDS.

5. Manufacturers should use one 235/234 pair to identify the product by

manufacturer's part number (Code MG) and immediatelyfollow with another 235/234

pair identifying the associated manufacturer CAGE Code (Code ZB).

6. Distributors and repackagers should use one 235/234 pair to identify the product by

vendor's part number (Code VP) and immediatelyfollow with a 235/234 pair

identifying the associated distributor or repackager CAGE Code (Code ZB).

Distributors and repackagers should then use two additional 235/234 pairs to identify the product manufacturer's part number (Code MG) and CAGE Code (Code ZB), if known.

7, Suppliers should identify the product by manufacturer's part number (Code MG) in

003050F848F0 18 29 July 1997
848F - Material Safety Data Sheet (Fully Structured)

one 235/234 pair and immediatelyfollow with a 235/234 pair identifying the associated

manufacturer CAGE Code (Code ZB).

8. All submitters shall provide the National Stock Number (NSN), if known, but NOT

as a substitutefor part number and CAGE Code. The use ofCode FS may be repeated

in successive 235/234 pairs to identify multiple NSN's corresponding to the product.

9. Provide other identifying information, as required, to adequately identify the materialfor which the MSDS applies.

Material Safety Data Sheet Section Information

Optional

To identify the report section

1 At least one of MSSO 1 MSS02 or MSS06 is required. 2 Only one of MSSO 1 or MSS06 may be present.

1 MSS02 is a text description of the report section.

2 MSS03 indicates the state or province issuing the regulations that determine what is reported in this section of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

3 MSS04 identifies the country issuing the regulations that determine what is reported

in this section.

1 MSS05 indicates whether any data in this report section has changed since the last revision of this report. 2 MSS07 indicates that the safety characteristics or hazard name is included in the name of the MSDS section or subsection.

1. Use the 2/MSS/030 loop only in original and replacement submissions to identify

the applicable ANSIZ400 section and subsection headings and the associated MSDS

data. Repeat the loop for each section and subsection ofthe ANSIZ400 standard. Sections 1-10 are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 's Hazard Communication Standard, Sections 11-16 include international requirements

and may not always apply. For any section where information is not provided, not

applicable, or not known state the appropriate case (e.g., Not Applicable) in the appropriate occurrence of2/MSG/050.

2. This implementation convention reflects an intention to use the transaction setfor

automated import into application software. Use MSS06 and MSSO 7 to identify

section and subsection headings. Cite the applicable section or subsection number in MSS06 and the heading code value in MSS07. Ifcode valuesfor subsection topics are not available, use only MSS02 to explicitly state the subsection number and topic title.

3. The transaction set may be usedfor print-only purposes, Le., not intendedfor

application software. Use MSS02, therefore, to explicitly identify section and

subsection headings.

4. HAZCOM Warning Label information is identified in Section 16 (Other

Information) as a discrete iteration ofthe 2/MSS/030 loop. Separate this information

from any additional Other Information to be carried in Section 16 by identifying it as a

subsection in MSS02 asfollows: "HAZCOM Warning Label". In addition, use code

LAB in MSSO? to identify tite proper subsection heading.

Technical Publications

Periodical

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology—Reports NIST research and development in those discipHnes of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Institute is active. These include physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement methodology and the basic technology

underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics closely related to the Institute's technical and scientific programs. Issued six times a year.

Nonperiodicals

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on various subjects related to the

Institute's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) devel- oped in cooperation with interested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies. Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NIST, NIST annual reports, and

other special publications appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and bibliographies.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on the physical and chemical

properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NIST under the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public

Law 90-396). NOTE: The Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD) is published

bimonthly for NIST by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP).

Subscriptions, reprints, and supplements are available from ACS, 1155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC

20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical information developed at the Institute on building

materials, components, systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results, test methods, and

performance criteria related to the structural and environmental functions and the durability and safety

characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of

a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NIST under the sponsorship of

other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures published by the Department of Commerce

in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized

requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of

the characteristics of the products. NIST administers this program in support of the efforts of private-sector

standardizing organizations.

Order the following NIST publications—FIPS and NISTIRs—from the National Technical Information

Service, Springfield, VA 22161

.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUB)—Publications in this series

collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register serves as the

official source of information in the Federal Government regarding standards issued by NIST pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended. Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat. 1127), and as implemented by Executive Order 1 1717 (38 FR 12315, dated May 11, 1973) and Part 6 of

Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NIST Interagency Reports (NISTIR)—A special series of interim or final reports on work performed by

NIST for outside sponsors (both government and nongovernment). In general, initial distribution is handled

by the sponsor; public distribution is by the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161,
