We’ve released a minor update. It is free for licensed SDScribe™ 2024 users, and you can either update the program when reminded (on program startup), or from our existing customers page.
The principal changes include updated imports for:
California Proposition 65.
Canada Domestic and Non-Domestic Substance lists (DSL/NDSL).
EU cosmetics (COSING prohibited, restricted, allowed colorants, allowed preservatives, allowed UV filters).
EU list of harmonised substances (ATP-22).
EU Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC), Candidate List.
Water hazard class (WGK, Germany).
Additionally, the program now allows you to edit the capitalization of ingredients (the “Name (enter CAS…)” and “FDA name” columns in the Component table, SDS Section 3; and the “Item” column in the “Items” tab of the Batch entry form), without changing the link to a Substance record. As long as you type in the same name, but in different capital case, the program won’t go searching for another Substance record.
In the SDS Component table, you can now also right click and select “First-letter caps” from the contextual menu, to make the highlighted ingredient names lower-case (except for the first letter).
Right-clicking on one or more highlighted rows to change the capital case.
There was also an issue with obtaining the desired ingredient name when the user checks the box, “Use INCI name when adding or updating rows", above the Component table. For linked Substances that had entries on the “Cosmetics” tab, the program would take the name listed in the field titled “Common”, instead of an “INCI name”-type entry from the Synonym table.
Now the program will check for an “INCI name”-type entry in the Synonym table first; only if none are present will it take an entry from the “Common” field on the “Cosmetics” tab.
