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.

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.

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.
