Sorry yes - I was thinking of "une fiche de données de securité"
From http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiche_de_données_de_sécurité:

La fiche de données de sécurité ou FDS (en anglais : Material Safety Data Sheet ou MSDS) est un formulaire contenant des données relatives aux propriétés d'une substance chimique.

Many French sources make no distinction between "fiche de sécurité" and "fiche de données de securité", as per:

In any case it's irrelevant here :)

Une fiche de sécurité n'est pas une "material safety data sheet"

Duncan Moncrieff Jul 29, 2014:

@mhcd I thought it might be "fiche de sécurité" as well, but it does not fit the context - see earlier on in the discussion.

It seems that "fds" = "fonds" and translates to "funds" fits her context.

mchd Jul 29, 2014:

fds = pour "fiche de service" ?
= ou pour "fiche de sécurité" ?
C'est sans doute votre contexte qui doit éclairer.

Have you tried looking at this:

If the audit is for a company where a "material safety data sheet" makes sense, it might be the right answer.
Otherwise more info on the context and industry required.
