Qualisys Approved: Your Safety Data in Safe Hands
Safety Data Sheets should be pcreated by qualified persons only. With SUMDAT data, we set strict standards that go far beyond the capabilities of editors, databases and classification software. We test each delivered Safety Data Sheet according to several criteria. In order to achieve the highest data quality efficiently and uncompromisingly, we clarify all questions.
Questions and Answers
Has your Safety Data Sheet been written according to the currently valid regulations with respect to the legal area? If necessary, Qualisys contacts suppliers in order to obtain up-to-date Safety Data Sheets or to initiate the revision of data by the supplier in case there is only unacceptably obsolete data available.
Are the minimum formal requirements (necessary, filled sections) fullfilled? We check possible inconsistencies with the compiler of the data sheet.
Do the Safety Data Sheets of your sub-sublier contain all the required chemical-physical, toxic and ecotoxic safety data? We check which information is missing and contact manufacturers of substances in order to obtain complete and coherent data.
Has the classification of substances been checked by specialists? In addition to automatic classification with our own tools, our experts verify the plausibility and correctness of the results of your Safety Data Sheets by examining individual cases and comparing them with similar substances.
Are all doubts concerning classification, which is an important part of the Safety Data Sheets, clarified? If there are any doubts concerning the practice of classification, Qualisys contacts the responsible authorities all over the world and evaluates every particular case until a solution is found. Whenever there may be a decision-making leeway for the manufacturer, Qualisys sums up the consequences and allows a decision according to the manufacturer's corporate philosophy.
Are the country and language versions consistent in your Safety Data Sheet? We developed SUMDAT, a software that also generates legal adaptations and translations automatically for every supported language and country. Our internal processes reveal and resolve deviations resulting from missing information.
