Affordable

• One-time purchase with optional annual upgrades
• Prepare an unlimited number of SDSs, with no per-page or per-SDS charges.

Easy to use

• Organized just like an SDS, with tabs that represent the individual sections and sub-sections of the SDS
• Streamlined interface with color field titles to indicate the most important items to enter

Versatile

• Select from multiple GHS versions for hazard classification, including UN versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10; US-OSHA 2012/2024; Canada WHMIS/WHMIS-22; EU-REACH; and GB (UK-REACH).
• Includes the updated US-OSHA HCS 2024 GHS version.
• If you change GHS versions on an SDS, the program converts classifications, hazard statements, etc., where possible.
• Includes the UFI number (for EU-based poison control centers) and the REACH registration numbers (both for EU and UK)
• Table-type formats are available on the generated SDS for Sections 3 (Composition), 9 (Physical-chemical properties), and 15 (Regulatory).
• Add GHS hazards to an SDS from more than one GHS revision (e.g., add environmental hazards to a US-OSHA SDS).
• Select either the UN or EU-ECHA format for each SDS.
• Offers unlimited levels of mixture components when you add an ingredient that is itself a mixture. The Formulator automatically separates mixtures into individual components, and adds the amounts together in the SDS Composition section.
• Maintaining an SDS in more than one language? SDScribe™ facilitates copying the English changes from one SDS to up to five others simultaneously.
• Going green or otherwise changing product formulations frequently? Vary ingredients and concentrations to see the effect on product hazard recommendations.
• Maintains both the raw data and the completed SDS within each SDS record.
• Imports German water hazard classification (WGK) values for substances. Recommends classifications for SDS product mixtures using the AwSV regulation logic.
• Create your own column-type or crosstab reports, or print directly using provided report templates. Save report templates as files on disk.
• Internet access unnecessary to generate SDSs. Your proprietary information stays on your workstation.

Compatible

• Import or export ingredients between the SDS component table and a spreadsheet.
• Print to PDF with a Windows pdf print driver installed, or export to pdf even without a driver. Or print directly to paper.
• Export the SDS in formats like Microsoft® Word (.docx), HTML, SVG, PDF, or text.

Editable SDS

• Press the Build SDS button to generate the SDS as an editable word processing document. It appears in a full-featured word processing area on the form.
• Build options allow you to experiment with different fonts, colors, section headers, and other features.
• Insert your company logo.
• The generated SDS uses Microsoft® Word-compatible style sheets, to help you match the SDS to your letterhead and other company documents.

Starter templates

• Suggestion-filled SDS starter templates are included for common product types such as cleaners, paints, etc.
• When you create a new SDS, you can select a template that is similar to your product type.
• Templates have text already completed in many sections, which you can then edit specifically for your product.
• Create your own templates, or edit the ones we provide.

Stock phrases

• A palette of stock phrases is at your fingertips, for inserting "boilerplate" text relevant to the location you are editing (first aid assistance, firefighting methods, etc.).
• You can create your own stock phrases for the palette, including in non-English languages. The program recognizes whether you are pasting the phrase into an English or a non-English field.

Labels

• Generate GHS-compliant container labels for your products, in a choice of label sizes/configurations.
• Labels include GHS hazard statements, precautionary statements, and pictograms.
• Add an ingredient list if desired.
• Add California Proposition 65 (Prop. 65) warnings, using the updated format.
• The generated label appears in a full-featured word processing area, for customization, printing, and/or exporting to a dedicated word processing program.
• FDA Drug Facts labels for your OTC drug or drug-cosmetic products (requires an optional license).

Chemical dictionary

• Over 190,000 chemicals are listed, including:
  • Australia list of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation

• Chemical dictionary additions and revisions are available periodically as imports included with program updates. You can monitor update status in the program's "About" box -> Environment tab.
• GHS classifications, hazard phrases, pictograms, and signal words are included for over 3,000 chemicals.
• Exposure limits are available for over 700 chemicals.
• A research drop-down menu takes you to locations on the web for finding physical and chemical properties, synonyms, hazards, etc.
• Designate frequently-used chemicals as "My item", to reduce the number of choices when finding ingredients.
• Duplicate chemicals and associate each with a different vendor for property variations or to maintain separate inventories.

Multi-language support

• There are companion fields for English and a non-English language, so you can generate each SDS in English and one other language.
• Built-in support for French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish SDSs*.
• Generate SDSs in other languages by building custom translation groups within the program. A Polish sample is included.

  * An optional language license is required to generate a full non-English SDS (beyond approx. the first two pages) for built-in languages.

Validation

• A progress thermometer illustrates items completed versus the total available.
• Click on the thermometer to view a list of individual items that may need to be completed or corrected.
• Click on a listed item to go to that item on the SDS form.
• The program warns you of missing or incorrect items when you click on the "Build" button to generate the SDS.

Support and guidance

• The Suggestion report enables the program to recommend hazard classifications for your product, based upon the ingredients and their concentrations.
• An omit analysis feature identifies ingredients you can consider omitting from the SDS.
• A tour window introduces the SDS entry form, to familiarize you with the basic techniques of navigating and entering information.
• An guide window takes you step-by-step through the process of creating an SDS. You can also obtain its advice on a particular area you've clicked into.
• Entry areas, buttons, and other items display help tips when you hover the mouse pointer over them.
• Brief videos (on some form tabs) demonstrate how to enter information.
• Background help appears automatically in a separate window, unless you turn it off. You can also view background help in your web browser. (For SDS entry and in certain other program areas.)
• One year of email support is included at no additional charge.

Inventory and Production Manager

• Generate batch sheets for use on the production floor.
• Prepare multiple batches linked to the original recipe.
• Conduct knockout experiments, eliminating one ingredient at a time from the original recipe.
