One-page summaries

• All MSDS, produced by AuthorITe, may be reproduced
  in one-page summary format
• More than 20 languages (including pidgins) are
   supported in this format.
• Used extensively in many corporate HazCom programs

Audit trail

• Retraces the history of an (M)SDS, enabling instant
  recreation of the MSDS for any given date
• e-Note-pad allows author(s) to record reason(s) for   change
• Changes in EC Directives, which necessitate (M)SDS
   changes, automatically recorded

Create (M)SDS in all major file-types

    HTML
    PDF
    Text

Each (M)SDS available in three different 'flavors' reflecting
different scales of use' including:

    Industrial
    Commercial
    Domestic

Each (M)SDS can be produced to meet the needs of different audiences.

Formats include:

• Highly technical documents with additional 'editorial'
  comment

• Technical documents suited to the needs of health and
  safety professionals

• Simplified documents for use in the workplace.

(M)SDS Phrase and mini-Monographs Library

Available in more than 20 languages.
Includes:

• Over 2500 pages of statements for each language

• Over 10,000 statements in each language

• Over 4000 mini-monographs

• Statements for all aspects of health, safety and
  emergency response

• Each statement available in two forms; technical and
  simple

• Advice to doctor and first aid procedures subject to
  regular review by a team of emergency physicians

• Environmental fate and ecotoxicity mini-monographs

• Exposure Standards mini-monographs - summaries of
   the documentation of ACGIH (USA), MAK Committee
  (Germany), HSE (UK) and NOHSC (Australia)

• Key word searchable
  The well-researched content of statements and
   mini-monographs ensures that your (M)SDS does not
   become just a big label

Limited or minimum disclosure

• Input full formulation into secure password controlled
  environment to determine appropriate R Statements

• Sanitize formulations to protect trade secrets

• Ensure   that only substances which make the material
  hazardous/dangerous are reported

• Retains original formulation, in hidden files, to ensure   that re-application of rules can be performed
  at any time

Customize layout and design

Many corporations have an existing preferred style for their (M)SDS.
Chemwatch proprietary software

• allows design of individual styles;

• addition of graphics such as company logos and marks

• provides several off-the-shelf alternative designs

Once the design is selected, the software makes decisions about page breaks and section breaks ensuring that maximum flexibility is preserved: no need to use fixed length fields or documents.

Templates

• Use (M)SDS prepared and reviewed by the Chemwatch
   team as model documents

• Large selection available for most industries including:
    Personal care products
    Household consumables
    Welding consumables
    Pathogens
    Radioactives

• More than 500 templates available

Multilingual support

• Phrase and mini-Monographs Library and user
   interfaces available in more than 20 languages

• Supports major European, Asian, and some Indian
   and Middle Eastern languages

• UniCode support also available for Asian
   and Middle Eastern languages

• Chemical names, for inclusion in ingredients section,
  available in most European and Asian languages (for
  example 30,000 Chinese, 60,000 Japanese, 100,000
  Lithuanian, 100,000 German names etc.)

  recording products against clients

• Use these lists to ensure clients receive
  (M)SDS of interest

• Distribute updates automatically to
   nominated clients, by fax, email or post

• Set the clock so your AuthorITe generated
  (M)SDS collection is automaticallyr
   edistributed after a set period

Hosted distribution systems

• Allow us to distribute your company (M)SDS
  via our secure, world-wide network of servers

• Usage profiles and user Identity
  provided quarterly
• Link to your corporate home-page

• Cost-efficiencies guaranteed

The Molecular Structures database (over
750,000 structures) has been used to compute
physicochemical parameters where none has
been determined experimentally

•These include:
    Boiling and melting points
    Viscosity
    Lower and upper explosive limits
    pKas and pKbs (and potential irritant effects)
    log Kows
    BCFs
    Water solubilities

• Plus potential target organs and systems have been
  determined using training sets derived from the
  literature.

• Potential chemical reactivity is also advised using
  computational methods.

All have an impact in the development of an
(M)SDS and may be used where a pure
substance Chemwatch MSDS, or experimental
physicochemical data, is not available.

•2-D structures may be imported to (M)SDS
  and Labels as JPEGs, GIFs etc.
