The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) system for the safe management of chemical substances was officially promulgated in 1993 and has been gradually put into practice through administrative guidance in Japan. However, little research has been done on the quality of such data sheets provided from various sectors of industries. We examined two sets of MSDSs obtained from a refractory ceramic plant. In the first survey in 1995, the set of MSDSs was from July, 1992 to March, 1994; and in the second survey in 1997, the set was from April, 1994 to November, 1996. The number of MSDSs examined in these two surveys was 159 and 81, respectively. The number of MSDSs in which "Hazard Identification" was indicated was 100 (63%) in the 1995 survey and 75 (93%) in the 1997 survey. The number of those in which "Toxicological Information (Stability and Reactivity)" was indicated was 81 (51%) and 80 (99%), respectively. The description rates for the essential items, including the above two, were found to be improving.
用于化学物质安全管理的《物质安全数据表》（MSDS）系统于1993年正式颁布，并通过行政指导在日本逐步实施。然而，对于各行业提供的此类数据表的质量，研究甚少。我们检查了从一家耐火陶瓷厂获得的两组MSDS。在1995年的首次调查中，MSDS组涵盖1992年7月至1994年3月；在1997年的第二次调查中，该组涵盖1994年4月至1996年11月。这两次调查中检查的MSDS数量分别为159份和81份。在1995年的调查中，标明“危害识别”的MSDS数量为100份（63%），在1997年的调查中为75份（93%）。标明“毒理学信息（稳定性和反应活性）”的数量分别为81份（51%）和80份（99%）。发现包括上述两项在内的基本项目的描述率在提高。
