Dell Tech provides accurate technical translations of SDSs and chemical product labels into Canadian French and Spanish. Technical translation is not the same as simple language conversion. It involves the transfer of scientific content from one language to another with close attention paid to both regulatory standards and specialized chemical terminology.
We ensure that your documents are translated by experts with regulatory and scientific training who understand the nuance of language in compliance documents. This is especially critical in Canada, where bilingual SDSs are mandatory, and specific formatting requirements apply depending on the audience, product category, and market destination.
In many cases, translation is not just a convenience – It is a legal requirement. For example:
Canadian regulations require SDSs to be provided in both English and Canadian French for hazardous workplace products. These SDSs must comply with the 16-section format under WHMIS 2015/2022 and reflect precise scientific terminology.

Technical translation is the transportation of scientific text from one language to another with close attention paid to both specialized technical terminology and regulatory compliance rules. Technical translation is important for safety data sheets because it ensures the new SDS is compliant for the intended country. Simply translating from one language to another may not accurately reflect critical information about the hazards, composition, and safe handling of chemical substances, which are essential for ensuring that this information is effectively communicated to workers and regulators in different regions and countries.
Dell Tech offers access to professionally trained English, Canadian French & Spanish language translators who specialize in translating technical documents such as safety data sheets. Our team also offers combined SDS Authoring for both Canada and the USA.
We ensure the accuracy and quality of SDS and label translations by using a professionally trained English/Canadian French/Spanish language translator in combination with the technical expertise of our Product Safety team who have extensive knowledge of Canadian and USA chemical regulations.
Technical translations help companies operating in international markets by ensuring products entering new markets are compliant with local chemical regulations. In Canada for example, there are unique occupational exposure limits set out by the Provinces which must be adhered to. Our team understands these lists and can interpret them in your local language to ensure the safety of both workers and consumers, prevent regulatory violations, and minimize the risk of legal and financial penalties.
