Expert SDS Authoring Solutions
Managing complex chemical safety regulations, complex hazard classifications, and constantly evolving compliance standards cause significant challenges. Inaccurate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) expose organizations to non-compliance risks, costly revisions, and compromised workforce safety.
Our SDS Authoring services facilitate the management of these complex chemical safety requirements, ensuring accurate hazard classification and labeling, comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation, and regulatory compliance with REACH, OSHA, and WHMIS standards. Utilizing advanced technical expertise in Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP), Globally Harmonized System (GHS), derivation of Safe Exposure Limits (DNEL/DMEL), and Toxicological and Eco-toxicological Evaluation, we deliver reliable SDS authoring solutions.
Understanding The Challenges of SDS Compliance
Handling the complex outlook of SDS compliance requires proficiency with both common and complex regulatory requirements. Frequent updates to chemical formulations and shifting mandates under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS 2012), REACH, and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) necessitate that Safety Data Sheets remain current and fully compliant. Managing extensive chemical inventories involves precise classification and labeling in line with GHS criteria, as well as ensuring accessibility per 29 CFR 1910.1200. The complexities intensify when accommodating multilingual requirements and international variations, such as CLP Regulation in the EU and WHMIS 2015 in Canada.
Balancing the disclosure of hazardous substances while protecting Confidential Business Information (CBI) under trade secret provisions requires careful attention to regulatory nuances. To address these challenges, we use advanced SDS management solutions that integrate real-time regulatory updates, automate hazard communication, and support multilingual document generation. This comprehensive approach ensures our SDSs are accurate, accessible, and compliant across all jurisdictions, aligning with the thorough demands of global safety and regulatory standards.

Overcoming SDS Challenges
Effective Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management requires a comprehensive approach to overcome complexity, ensure compliance, and promote workplace safety. This involves standardizing formats, clarifying technical language, providing exhaustive hazard information, maintaining data accuracy, and ensuring accessibility for diverse users, while staying up-to-date with evolving regulations such as GHS, REACH, and OSHA.
Standardization and Harmonization
Establishing seamless compliance with Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) standards, specifically GHS Rev. 9 (ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.9), we implement consistent formatting, aligned with the United Nations’ recommended 16-section template, incorporating GHS codes for hazard classification (e.g., H200-H410), precautionary statements (e.g., P201-P502), and pictograms.
Clarifying Technical Complexity
Utilizing clear, concise language, we reduce ambiguities and technical jargon, making SDS content accessible to diverse stakeholders, including non-technical personnel. This includes explaining complex concepts such as:
- Classification criteria (e.g., explosive, flammable, oxidizing)
- Hazard categories (e.g., physical, health, environmental)
- Toxicological data (e.g., LD50, LC50)
Comprehensive Hazard Communication
Providing exhaustive information on chemical hazards, safety measures, and emergency procedures, our SDS solutions ensure users are well-informed and empowered to handle chemicals safely, including:
