Your European customer said this. Here is what they mean, what it takes to satisfy it, and what it costs.
What they actually mean
Yes — and it is worth understanding what that actually involves, because the honest version of this answer is a selling point.
A sheet for the German market is not the English sheet translated. Section 8 has to carry Germany’s own occupational exposure limits and name the act they come from. Section 15 has to carry German national law. Those are different values and different citations, not different words for the same ones.
What is a straightforward lookup is the regulatory phrasing: the EU publishes every hazard and precautionary statement in all twenty-four official languages, so those render deterministically rather than being translated freshly — which matters, because a freshly translated hazard statement is not the legally recognised text and a compliance officer will notice.
One product record, many markets. Adding a market is a data operation against the same record, not a rebuild. €149 per card, per language.
How long this takes
A working draft is in your inbox immediately after checkout. A reviewed and signed card is issued within 72 hours of complete input. If your customer gave you a deadline, tell us what it is — we will say the same day whether it is possible rather than discovering it together on day three.
What we need from you
The CAS number. The destination country. The mode of transport. The commercial form and grade you actually ship. That is enough to start; anything else we need, we will ask for once.
Before you order, send us what you already have
Three sheets, free, one working day. It costs you nothing to find out whether the document you hold can be repaired instead of replaced — and sometimes it can.
Questions people ask before they order
Is a German safety data sheet just the English one translated?
No. Section 8 carries national exposure limits and section 15 national law, so those sections change in substance, not only in wording. Each language version is its own deliverable at €149 per card.
Do you machine-translate the hazard statements?
No. The European Union publishes every hazard and precautionary statement in all twenty-four official languages, so producing another language version of those phrases is a deterministic lookup rather than a translation. In this field an invented phrase can hurt the person handling the drum.
Which languages can you produce?
The regulated phrases are available in all twenty-four official EU languages. For the free text around them, tell us the destination market and we will confirm before you order rather than after.
My customer asked for Chinese. Is that the same job?
It is a different one. A Chinese version is written for a different regulatory reader, so it is not the European sheet in Chinese words. Ask us and we will tell you what is possible before you commit.
