SDS Translation Services In Malaysia

Translate your SDS – Safety Data Sheets into Malay or 30 other languages

Omni-Translation has been translating MSDS since 2002, currently referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Safety Data Sheets are necessary to maintain compliance with worldwide regulations and to avoid regulatory fines. Hazardous chemical producers are required to provide an SDS in the official language(s) of each country/market where it is being produced and sold. Our translation is done in full compliance with regulatory requirements and standards in the target countries. Our team of SDS translation experts have proven experience in translating chemical safety information and chemical product texts into Malay (Bahasa Melayu). 

SDS Translation Service Malaysia

Translate SDS into Malay or 30+ other languages

Omni Translation provides SDS translation into 30+ languages, including Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. If you are exporting, tell us your target countries so we can manage terminology and consistency across languages.

SDS compliance in Malaysia and international markets

Malaysia requires bilingual SDS documentation in Malay and English under CLASS Regulations 2013 (Classification, Labelling and Safety Data Sheet of Hazardous Chemicals Regulations 2013). These regulations align with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. Other markets may have their own SDS standards and formatting expectations.

Note: Requirements can vary by industry and target market. We provide translation support and terminology consistency, and we recommend you confirm final compliance requirements with your internal EHS team or regulatory advisor.

How the SDS translation process works

  1. Send your SDS file, source language, target language(s), and target market(s).
  2. We confirm scope, word count, delivery format, timeline, and quote.
  3. Translation by a subject-matter translator plus a second-person check for terminology and consistency.
  4. Delivery in your requested format, with revisions available for reasonable clarification or formatting requests.

What we need from you (checklist)

  • Your latest SDS version in Word or editable format if available
  • Source and target languages (for example English to Malay)
  • Target country or intended use (Malaysia use, export markets, internal audit)
  • Any preferred terminology, glossary, product codes, or prior SDS versions
  • Deadline and any formatting requirements

Common SDS translation risks we help reduce

  • Inconsistent translations of hazard statements and PPE terms across products
  • Formatting issues that break the SDS section structure
  • Incorrect units, exposure limit expressions, or transport wording
  • Unclear wording in handling, storage, and first-aid sections
