FAQs
The ChemAlert Colour Rating system provides you with a visual indication of the hazard level a chemical represents for normal use.
- Green rated chemicals pose a Low level of hazard for normal use
- Amber rated chemicals pose a Moderate level of hazard for normal use
- Red rated chemicals pose a High level of hazard for normal use.
In ChemAlert, click on the Colour Rating to display a detailed Colour Rating Guide.
Some jurisdictions, like the USA do not require all hazardous ingredients to be specified for the purpose of commercial-in-confidence trade secrets. Others, like Australia, require all hazardous ingredients to be listed and include ingredients that have an exposure standard with a concentration above 1%. To protect formulas, manufacturers are permitted to specify concentration ranges instead of exact percentages. However, it is best practice to be as precise as possible.
There are multiple good reasons why you should actively seek to include your own SDSs in the ChemAlert Library:
- Each SDS added to the library is verified by our in-house team of scientists. Any areas of concern are communicated back to you so you can improve your SDS.
- ChemAlert services the largest clients in all industry sectors. All of these clients require your SDS to be present in the Library before you can supply to them.
- Having your SDS present serves as a marketing opportunity when clients search for products.
