ALVIS Inc. List of Products and Services

Our company offers a service for creating Safety Data Sheets (SDS) that meet the legal requirements of various countries. The SDS aims to provide information regarding the handling of products within the target country, but it may also be required for customs procedures during import and export. Upon request, we can create draft SDS for domestic use in Japan or SDS (MSDS) that comply with the languages and regulations of various countries overseas. When creating SDS, we utilize the latest databases of official public substance information and domestic regulations that we have directly researched and edited. (While GHS classification in accordance with the revised Labor Safety and Health Act is essential, we leverage a variety of information sources, including not only GHS classification information publicly available from the government but also our own classified data and classification result databases used overseas.) Even for products that require individual investigation, we can provide support from specialized researchers. We have established a workflow for the classification of hazardous properties in accordance with GHS, following guidelines from the United Nations and other sources. Through assessments and verifications related to GHS classification, we implement problem-solving proposals.

Translation support tools have been in use for quite some time, but I think it may be difficult for those outside the translation industry to understand what these tools are for. At Albis, we also use translation support tools, starting with Trados Studio. (1) Overview Translation support tools are programs that automatically retrieve reusable past translations from a database of paired source texts and translations known as translation memory (TM). The translation is ultimately performed by humans, and this is entirely different from AI translation, where computers perform the translation. Trados Studio, developed and sold by RWS, is a representative translation support tool, but tools like Memsource are also becoming widely used. Not all translators use translation support tools. Additionally, since each project has its own suitability, it is important to understand the characteristics of each tool.
