Chinese / English Language REACH Statements

I filled out another REACH document this morning and had a scary thought as I did so. Like most of the ones I filled out, it was in Chinese and English. I have no idea what the Chinese says. I am assuming that it is saying the exact same thing as the English but I have no proof. By signing this documentation, does it make me liable for all the statements in Chinese also? I know this is paranoid thinking but I don?t like the possibilities.

Yes, therefore you should not sign what you cannot read or understand.

If the documents were translated from English to Chinese, there should be a disclaimer stating something to the effect of:
"Information provided... has originally been prepared in the English language and has been translated into Chinese. In the event of any discrepancy between the two versions, the English version shall prevail."
