Are you looking to understand the uses, handling, and storage of chemicals in a way that ensures both safety and suitability for your intended purpose? So where should you find these documents and how should you search for them? There are three types of documents you need to know when using chemicals: MSDS, TDS, COASo let's PLG So let's delve into understanding the content and function of each type of document
What is MSDS?
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is called a Safety Data Sheet and is a type of document containing information related to a specific chemical. MSDS It is provided to help those who work with and are exposed to the chemical to proactively take safety measures during use and handle any situations that arise when using the chemical.
MSDS It is commonly used for items that have the potential to cause hazards during transportation, storage, and use. This document provides guidance on preventive measures and how to handle risks associated with the storage and use of chemicals."

MSDS Content
In an MSDS chemical safety – MSDS will include the following content:
- Chemical Identification: Trade name, common name, other names; Manufacturer's name and address; Purpose of the chemical.
- Chemical Composition Information: Name, chemical formula, and code. CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service – a unique identifier for a chemical element, chemical compound, compound, or alloy) and the components of the substances."
- Identification of Chemical Hazards: Hazard classification level; Hazard warnings; Routes of exposure and symptoms."
- Emergency Measures: Medical first aid; Firefighting measures; Preventive and response measures for incidents.
- Storage and Handling Requirements.
- Personal Protective Equipment Regulations.
- Physical and Chemical Properties: Physical state, color, odor, specific gravity, boiling point, melting point, solubility in solvents, density
- Environmental Impact: Adverse effects on the ecosystem.
- Requirements for the transportation and storage of chemicals.
Purpose and use of MSDS.
MSDS lis a document provided with the following purposes:
- Warns of hazards during use and outlines procedures to follow according to the provided instructions to ensure safety
- How to handle incidents when they occur.
- How to store and transport chemicals
- It is a document that customs may require as an additional part of the import/export documentation.
What is TDS?
TDS (Technical Data Sheet) is called a Technical Data Sheet for chemicals and is a type of document containing information, properties, and technical specifications of chemicals. Its purpose is to provide users with a clearer understanding of the information about the chemicals they need to use
Contents of the TDS
"In each document" TDS "includes the following information:"
- "Chemical Information: General introduction about the chemical; physical and chemical properties: appearance, solubility, density, and characteristics."
- "Technical Specifications: Formulation and operation instructions; Performance standards; Testing methods and analytical procedures."
- "Safety: Usage instructions, storage guidelines, and environmental considerations for chemical transportation."
Purpose and use of TDS.
TDS "It is a document that helps buyers understand the uses and properties of chemicals, as well as provides information on how to use, store, and transport chemicals safely."
What is COA?
COA (Certificate of Analysis) is called a Certificate of Analysis and is a document detailing the product's component analysis used to confirm that the exported goods meet specific parameters such as physical properties, composition, etc., of the product.
COA It is a document provided by the seller or manufacturer containing product information and is a mandatory document required for customs clearance of imported and exported goods.
"Contents of COA"
Each COA COA for different types of chemicals may vary, but they typically include the following information:"
- "Sample Information:" "Sample name, batch number, quantity, origin, date received, and date of testing."
- Analysis Table: Physical and chemical property parameters of the sample, standard values, analytical methods, and test results.
Purpose and use of COA.
"The Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an essential document for most export products. It serves the following purposes:"
- COA It is a document that helps buyers understand the components of the chemical and the product's quality, allowing them to select a product that is suitable and meets their intended use.
- COA helps the seller control the quality of the product
- COA helps users determine whether the product is of good quality or not."
- COA indicates whether the product meets the quality standards recommended by the manufacturer."
- COA can serve as a basis for regulatory authorities to verify detailed information about the products and their quality, thereby determining whether the products meet the requirements for market circulation.
Conditions for a valid COA
Many manufacturers and suppliers do not fully understand the conditions required for a valid COA COA hợp lệ. Để có COA hợp lệ cần tuân thủ theo các bước sau:
- Receiving the sample for testing.
- Sample management.
- Conducting the test
- Providing the results of the testing process.
Process for obtaining a valid COA
"The testing process must ensure the integrity of the product, the sample being tested, quality control of the testing, results presentation, and ultimately, the safety of the quality testing records."
Analysis is typically conducted on samples that represent the total quantity of goods sold. The analysis is performed either at the supplier's factory or production site, or at the location where the product is internationally shipped.
"Notes on MSDS, TDS, and COA."
MSDS, TDS, COA lare documents provided to ensure safety when using goods and chemicals. These three types of documents are typically supplied by the supplier or seller of the product, which can be a company, a trading entity, or an individual. All information in these documents must be accurate, and each type of chemical will have different types of documents."
MSDS is a mandatory document for transporting hazardous chemicals. It is provided to ensure safety during use
COA is a document tested at an independent testing center with a laboratory or at regulatory testing agencies in Vietnam
"Above is the complete content of the three essential types of documents needed when using chemicals. Depending on the type of chemical goods, different types of documents will be required. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly understand the safety parameters for using and transporting chemicals. Through this article, PLG hopes that you will gain a better understanding of these three types of documents." MSDS, TDS, COA and obtain the necessary information to purchase and use chemicals in the safest manner possible
