Fact Sheet, Safety Data Sheet Explanation: Based on your client’s description, I’d say OSHA Fact Sheets or Safety Data Sheets are a pretty solid equivalence. I think you’ll have to use your best judgment based on the context and further examples of these fiches for which fits best. https://www.google.com/search?q=osha safety data sheets&rlz=... https://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.athruz?pType=Types&pID=2 |

fiche déclarative declaration sheet Explanation: The official name for this is "Fiche de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire (FDES)". Here's the French Wiki article for it: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiche_de_déclaration_environne... On that page it says "La base de données française de référence sur les caractéristiques environnementales et sanitaires des produits de construction est l'INIES." And here's the English version of the INIES database: https://www.inies.fr/home/ On that page it says: "Welcome to the INIES database The INIES database provides Environmental and Health Declaration Sheets (FDES) for building products, Product Environmental Profiles (PEP) for Equipment, data about services (energy, water, etc.) and material life cycle inventories. All information is provided voluntarily by manufacturers and trade associations based on a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) that complies with French regulatory requirements based on French and European standards, which are benchmarks adapted to construction products and equipment. A significant portion of this data is audited by an independent third party." ____________________ Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2019-07-11 21:45:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- How difficult does this site need to make it to post a 'live' goddamn URL!!! https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiche_de_déclaration_environne... https://www.inies.fr/home/ https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiche_de_d%C3%A9claration_environnementale_et_sanitaire https://www.inies.fr/home/ |

Environmental Product Declaration Explanation: As mentioned in the discussion (thanks to Julie) the former member Bourth (died some years ago, unfortunately) explained the FDES and indicated the corresponding EN standard EN 15804 BS EN 15804 : 2012 +A1 : 2013 Sustainability of construction works. Environmental product declarations. Core rules for the product category of construction products : What is this standard about? BS EN 15804 gives guidance around core product category rules relating to Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for construction products and services. https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030279... Please do not confuse the Environmental Product Declaration with a (Material) Safety Data Sheet (Fiche Technique de Sécurité)! |

Construction products environmental data sheet Explanation: Based on the description of what these are in France, there's no exact equivalent in the US. A "fiche de déclaration environnementale et sanitaire" is required ONLY for materials intended for use in building construction, and the information on these sheets relates to the environmental impact of the material and the resulting building: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiche_de_déclaration_environne... Hence, an explanatory translation. Any close variation on the proposed translation should work as long as it includes "construction products" (or construction materials) and mention of the environment/environmental. |

Reference: For info Reference information: Product Data Sheet When a manufacturer completes a Product Data Template using online data software the created output is called a Product Data Sheet (PDS). A Product Data Sheet summarises the performance and other technical characteristics of each construction product, material or component according to specific regulatory, market or client-specific requirements that have been incorporated in the template’s mechanism. A PDS is like a product’s passport – it is traceable to the manufacturer and unique for the construction product. PDSs allow the whole supply chain to benefit from the most accurate, up-to-date manufacturer’s data, delivered by the most credible source. https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Product_Data_Sheet PRODUCT DATA SHEETS A safety data sheet (SDS) describes the hazards of substances and mixtures and makes recommendations for safe handling and use https://www.shell.com/business-customers/bitumen/product-dat...
