FAQs
To minimise the inaccuracy of manufacturer's SDSs, RMT undertakes a rigorous process of validation against recognised national and international reference sources.
Each and every SDS is reviewed by a qualified RMT Scientific Services Advisor prior to inclusion in the ChemAlert Library.
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.
No. You are not required to provide your SDS to anyone other than your customers upon request. We provide the information to anyone who asks as a marketing benefit and as a way to reduce your client's total cost of ownership for acquiring and maintaining the product/s you are providing.
You are required to have the SDS for the specific product you use. The supplier details on the SDS should match the supplier details on the label of the product.
A ChemAlert report does not replace an SDS, it is an independent verification which is vital given the known error rate of SDS content:
- Instant visual indicators such as colour ratings, PPE icons, pictograms and DG diamonds
- Standardised formatting
- Translations into other languages
- Customisability to include sections that are important to you
- Additional product research by a team of qualified Scientists.
Yes. A notification of an update to an SDS or a significant product classification change will be displayed on your ChemAlert homescreen. You can also receive a notification email of any changes.
You can modify your Interest Profile rules for notifications through the User Preferences page or via the Stock Location Properties page.
ChemAlert access is maintained by Site Administrators in your company. Instructions are available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > Adding New Users to ChemAlert and ChemAlert Groups.
Yes, in order to prepare a regulatory-compliant SDS we need to know the exact formulation (as much as possible). We will sign a non-disclosure agreement if required, and can advise what ingredients do not need to be disclosed on the SDS and/or ideal ingredient ranges to ensure the most appropriate classifications are displayed.
Refer to detailed instructions available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > ChemAlert Batch Reports.
