FAQs

How can I create a new SDS?

RMT writes new SDSs for chemical manufacturers around the world. An RMT authored SDS is written to the highest standard and complies with the relevant legislative standards.

If you are interested in using our SDS Authoring Service, please call us on +61 (0)8 9322 1711 or contact us.

What do the ChemAlert Colour Ratings mean?

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.

What is the ChemAlert library?

ChemAlert has a library with hundreds of thousands of the most up-to-date manufacturer Safety Data Sheets.

Access to the full library of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) immediately commences with the subscription license. This ensures compliance with the regulations to provide SDS access to all employees that are potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals.

If a client requires an SDS that is not already there, we can add this to the library, usually within 24 hours of request.

RMT maintains and updates this SDS library. The SDS date is displayed in red text in the ChemAlert Stock Management module. If the SDS is out of date, this is also recorded along with any known reasons.

Users can search the library to find specific SDS and their current validity.

What is ChemAlert's SDS updating procedure?

Once an SDS is in the ChemAlert Library, RMT will take all reasonable measures to ensure that its currency is maintained. Each updated SDS is reviewed and validated by our qualified scientific team. There are five ways we ensure the ChemAlert Library is the most current and up to date library of Safety Data Sheets in market:

We automate the acquisition of updated Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) from the suppliers that publish them on their website.
Any SDS nearing five years since last review is identified, and our dedicated team of SDS Administrators will then attempt to source an updated SDS directly from the manufacturer by email or phone. If the manufacturer does not yet have an update, they will be asked to proactively notify RMT when it is available.
We have a strong relationship with many suppliers who proactively send us their Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and value the independent review of our RMT scientists perform, advising them on improvements to the Safety Data Sheet.
We author SDSs on behalf of thousands of manufacturers and in the process of updating their SDS documents, ChemAlert users get instant updates.
Client feedback. If you receive an SDS that is more current than the one on ChemAlert, please forward it to our Support team by email or through the UPLOAD functionality in ChemAlert on the Product Details screen (Reports/Labels > Manufacturer SDS > Enquiry)

How do I add a product to ChemAlert?

To add a new chemical product to the ChemAlert Library, simply email the manufacturer's SDS through to ChemAlert Support. You will receive an automated email with a ticket number to quote if you have any queries regarding the request. Alternatively, you can submit the SDS via ChemAlert's Request module. For more information on how to do this, please contact our Support team on +61 (0)8 9322 1711. Many organisations have internal procedures in place for the approval of new chemicals. Check internally with a supervisor or health and safety team to ensure you comply with your organisational processes.

Why are there international and local SDSs in ChemAlert?

There are many SDSs from different countries. If a chemical is non-hazardous, an SDS is often not mandatory and so the importer may choose to use the international SDS to communicate additional information to the end user.

ChemAlert provides a global service and contains many local and international SDS. You can exclude SDSs from jurisdictions not relevant to you through Business Unit Preferences. Contact the ChemAlert Support team or phone +61 (0)8 9322 1711.
