FAQs
During Scientific Support Hours your ChemAlert subscription gives you access to RMT’s team of experienced safety professionals, chemists, toxicologists and industrial hygienists who can provide advice on hazard awareness, chemical handling, PPE, storage, spill response, disposal, environmental considerations, etc.
We also provide clients with expert advice in areas such as:
- Achieving compliance with relevant legislation;
- How the GHS affects SDS, chemical labelling and reporting requirements in your workplace;
- Dangerous Goods Segregation, signage and placarding requirements;
- Storage, handling and biological monitoring.
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.
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.

Consumer products are those packed for and used by household or office consumers, in the same quantity as would be expected to be used in a household or for office work. Under most jurisdictions, consumer products are exempt from requiring an SDS or to be listed on a Hazardous Chemicals Register.
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.
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.
Your organisation’s ChemAlert administrator can assist with resetting the password. For SaaS proxy login, the ChemAlert Support team can assist with providing or resetting the credentials.
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.
