SDS management
Involve top management in the HSE projects of digitalization
HSE projects from digitalization: Involving top management early in the decision-making process is crucial to success.
For example, a project at digitalization of SDSs, i.e., data on chemicals to be purchased and used in production, is not only relevant to Health, Safety and Environmental management, but is a substantial component of an enterprise risk strategy.
Here are some key aspects of the project to highlight to management and to gain its support:
- Simplify compliance with current regulations
- Reduce sanction and legal risks
- Improve operational efficiency
- Reduce hazardous waste management costs
- Ensure the compliance and competitiveness of its products in the marketplace
- Qualify as a sustainable supplier in important supplies, tenders and contracts
- Having reliable data that can be used by other business departments (R&D, Design, Purchasing, Sustainability)
Communicating these key points can help demonstrate to top management how digitalization is a strategy that brings serious short-term and long-term benefits.

Recycling, Reuse and Disposal
Raw Materials that are hazardous chemicals should be controlled upstream in the production cycle.
It is important that companies that are truly committed to sustainability and circularity analyze the SDSs they receive with a view to reducing and replacing the hazardous chemicals they use.

Are SDSs critical to your business?
You might think they are not, but frequent regulatory changes and market trends that are increasingly focused on protecting people and the environment make the process of managing such information increasingly important. Underestimating it could expose your company to unexpected risks.
The SDSs that arrive at the company contain so much important information for occupational health and safety, regulatory and business compliance as well as sustainability.
Unfortunately, the receipt of SDSs is often a process handled with an unstructured approach. The first step to address it properly is to centralize the receipt of the cards and automatically extract the information they contain until it is in an organized database.

How to simplify checks on received SDSs?
You have received a new SDS. What about now? Is it from a new product or is it a revision? Would you like to check its contents for conformity and compare it with the previous version?
At SDS FullService, we know how important it is to simplify this process for our customers.
That's why we offer two key features that will make your audits even more efficient:
- The Nonconformity Report: a structured document that highlights your observations and any nonconformities noted on each section and subsection of the SDS. This report can be used to facilitate communication with the supplier/manufacturer of the SDS to ensure clear dialogue and quick resolution of any issues.
- The Compare PDF: an incredibly useful tool for quickly checking the differences between a new version of SDS and the one already in the company's archive. With an effective visual comparison, you'll be able to spot the changes you've made, saving valuable time and minimizing evaluation errors.
Rely on SDS FullService to simplify the management of your SDSs. With our advanced features, you can monitor content compliance and keep up-to-date information useful for Health, Safety and Environmental assessments.
Simplify access to SDS information.
In addition to providing workers with full access to SDSs, it can be useful to get a quick view of key information, especially in an emergency situation.
That is why SDS FullService makes the Simplified SDS available to its customers.
A set of information selected according to your specifications can be reported in a standard normalized format, in which each piece of data is always visible in the same location to ensure quick reading and understanding.
The Simplified SDS is in addition to and does not replace the received SDS, which remains the official document reporting all the data required by the regulations.
Simplify access to information by promoting a safe and aware work environment!

Your Reports with SDS data available in one click
In the case of internal or third-party audits, it is useful to be able to quickly generate reports based on the contents of SDSs. Filtered according to appropriately defined search criteria.
In order to do this, SDS data must have been digitalized and stored in a specialized database.
With SDS FullService you can get the digitalization of your SDSs automatically, integrate it with other business data, and apply the necessary filters to generate reports that contain, in an organized way, the information of interest to you.
But won't it be in SVHC?
But won't it be banned by California Proposition 65?
How many times have you, too, asked yourself these questions without being able to provide answers quickly?
Watchlist Monitor from SDS FullService allows you to immediately check whether you are using or purchasing a substance (or component of a mixture) on the banned or restricted substance lists that are managed by the solution.
Allows you to extract data and reports for inspection visits, internal audits, and for appropriate corrective action.
Automatic updates to the lists included in the Watchlist Monitor will also alert you to any changes that have occurred that impact your chemical inventory.
Automating the delivery of SDSs
The results of our survey showed that companies often do not receive SDS revisions and that, in some cases, they also do not receive SDS revisions at all Safety Data Sheets.
Standard delivery of any SDS is a risky and complex process if it is not automated. A decision must first be made as to whether or not the SDS is to be provided, and then it is essential that it arrives in the hands of the recipient in a timely manner and that its receipt can be verified.
In addition, Article 31.9 of REACH requires the transmission of updated SDSs (versions due to new regulations or revisions affecting the hazardousness of substances or mixtures) to all recipients who have received products in the past 12 months.
At SDS FullService, we offer a solution for compliant distribution of SDSs to downstream users, in full compliance with Articles 31 and 36 of REACH and applying the recommendations of CEFIC as well as major industry associations such as, for example, Confindustria.
digitalization Automatic SDSs: a cutting-edge technology
The digitalization of chemical data is the lever to meet the challenges of Sustainability, Health, Safety and Environment.
SDSs are used to assess Chemical Risk, to determine Sustainability Indices, to check compliance with current Health, Safety and Environmental regulations , and to confirm to customers compliance with their Specifications regarding proscribed chemicals.
With SDS FullService, it is possible to digitalize the data automatically through a service assisted by a technology-unique data extraction from SDS.
The most complex operations become simple with us!

ChemParser digitalizes SDSs in the U.S. to analyze their accuracy
We are proud to announce that ChemParser, the Solution for digitalization of the SDS produced by our subsidiary ChemParser, was used as part of a recent US study aimed at verifying the correctness of the hazard information contained in the Safety Data Sheets circulating among companies.
The study, which took into account several hundred SDSs issued by various manufacturers in different countries, was carried out and published by Bluegreen Alliance (an organization that works to protect workers and the environment) and Clearya (manufacturer of Mobile Apps and Browser-Extensions that inform consumers about the toxicity of the products they intend to buy).
This study is, to date, the analysis on the accuracy of hazard classifications for which the largest number of SDS has been developed.
This has been made possible thanks to the speed and reliability of the digitalization of the SDS carried out by ChemParser, which is the service with which we already have digitalized tens of thousands of SDS on behalf of our customers as part of our FullService SDS Solutions.
The study is freely downloadable here.
Our team is here to help you manage SDSs and keep track of hazardous substances!
