At present there is no enforceable standard
in the US
that addresses the quality or sources of information used in any part of
an
MSDS.
Toxicological information on an MSDS comes
from
wherever the author of the MSDS can find it. That might include
the
peer-reviewed journals, US and EU government sources, compilations such
as the
old Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, on line sources
like
ToxLine. It can even come from unpublished sources and current
research
that may be available to the author.

Can anyone
tell me
where the toxicological information on an MSDS comes
from?
