...but what is a MSDS?
14 pages long doesn't mean very much, though.

I would just go by the word count. If it is a Microsoft Word document, it is easy to know the total number of words by a couple of clicks.

Charge per word, and use a high word rate, since MSDSs contain many specialist terms and phrases.

Just a comment to add to John's advice: Unfortunately the filtering for special fields of expertise does not work on the ProZ page he linked to; you always get the same average rate.

Your rate for any specialized text.
A little help: check the EU directives and regulations, you can probably find most titles of the standard form already available in your language, including the text of H, R phrases.

Which, in my language (Romanian), are already translated as national templates - if these specialist terms and phrases form the so-called R and S phrases.
