Chinese term

疑者从重

Chinese to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
评估遵循凭安全性举证和疑者从重的原则

(”评估“是指化学物质危害评估)

我的大概理解是”如果对于某一化学物品的安全性有任何疑问, 应该选择高一点的危害级别", 可是不能肯定,也不知道英文法律也有相同或者类似的表达方式。 网上资源少。

两个原则可不可以用一个英文原则 “Proof of Safety" 来表示?请各位帮忙,谢谢!

详细解释见内

疑者从重 出自古文“ 刑疑付轻,赏疑从重"

"罪 之 疑 者 從 輕 , 功 之 疑 者 從 重 , 所 謂 疑 者 ,非 法 令 之 所 能 決 , 則 罪 從 輕 而 功 從 重 , 惟 此 一 條 為 然 耳; 非 謂 凡 罪 皆 可 以 從 輕 , 而 凡 功 皆 可 以 從 重 也 。"

我个人认为你的理解是争取的,在给有危害的的化学品划分危害等级的的时候,如果对某种化学品的性质不明或者危害性不明,那么宁可把他归为危害性重的一类。这和中国的一些俗语是一个意思:
“宁可信其有,不可信其无”
“宁可错杀一百,不能放过一个”

但是我觉得很难吧这个意思浓缩在短短的几个单词之中,我建议在译文中吧这个意思展开

The evaluation shall follow the methodologies below:

1. Solid proofs shall be provided if a chemical is to be categorized as "safe".
2. If there is doubt about the safety of a chemical, then it should be categorized as "dangerous". 

不知道上下文中 有几个安全等级,但是大意应该就是这样吧。

Reference:

ECHA Chemical Safety Assessment

These clauses in a European document are aiming at the same kind of meaning, though they're not exactly equivalent.

"From all health effects, the lowest DNEL (Derived No-Effect Level) for each exposure pattern will be documented in the CSR and in the safety data sheet, where required."

"The lowest PNEC (Predicted No Effect Concentration) for each environmental sphere is reported in the CSR and in the safety data sheet, where required."
