At present there is no enforceable standard in the US that addresses the quality or sources of information used in any part of an MSDS.
 
Toxicological information on an MSDS comes from wherever the author of the MSDS can find it.  That might include the peer-reviewed journals, US and EU government sources, compilations such as the old Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, on line sources like ToxLine.  It can even come from unpublished sources and current research that may be available to the author.
