REACH

The REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 entered into force on 1 June 2007.

ChemSoft Safety Data Sheets comply with Annex II of REACH (Regulation 453/2010).

GHS and CLP

CLP is Regulation EC 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures. This Regulation brings previous EU legislation in line with the GHS (Globally Harmonised System).

ChemSoft Classification modules provide accurate classification of substances and mixtures using the EU and GHS Classification systems.

MSDS compliance for the US

In addition to our market leading EU compliance software ChemSoft EH&S offers software modules to provide fully compliant MSDS’s for the United States.

MSDS’s are produced in the ANSI format and contain all the required inventories such as TSCA, CalProp65, SARA titles and state specific RTK’s.

Our classification modules automatically classify the regulatory requirements of both substances and preparations to produce a fully compliant, complete Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
