Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Trisodium Nitrilotriacetat…
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Trisodium Nitrilotriac… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
04 · Precautionary statements
Trisodium Nitrilotriacetate precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 12 precautionary statements to Trisodium Nitrilotriacetat…. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
Prevention
What to do before and during handling so the hazard never happens.
Response
What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.

05 · Names in the regulation
Trisodium Nitrilotriacetate name in 23 EU languages
CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

All 23 language editions of Annex VI carry this entry. Irish is the twenty-fourth official EU language and has no line here for a different reason: no consolidated CLP text has ever been published in Irish, so there is no Irish edition of Annex VI to quote a name from.

Trisodium Nitrilotriacetate carcinogenicity classification
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of nitrilotriacetic acid and its salts. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of nitrilotriacetic acid and its sodium salts. Overall evaluation: Nitrilotriacetic acid and its salts are possibly carcinogenic in humans (Group 2B). /Nitrilotriacetic acid and its salts/

An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.
