For over 20 years, Chemscape Safety Technologies has been providing SDS authoring for chemical manufacturers and suppliers. This Resource Center is intended to answer common questions on the regulatory requirements and industry best practises on authoring Safety Data Sheets.


For companies involved in the manufacturing, importing and distributing of chemicals, the authoring of SDS sheets and labels for their chemical products is an essential step before selling your products. SDS Authoring is done by first sampling the chemical product and sending samples to a laboratory for an analysis. This data determines the roadmap for classification and interpretation by the SDS Author.
Classification is the foundation for building a Safety Data Sheet and requires the skill of an experienced SDS Author. SDSs are now authored to a Global Harmonized Standard (SDS) but still need to be authored by country due to local variances and regulations.
Find up-to-date guides, blogs and detailed insight related to SDS Authoring. Whether you need to align with GHS regulations and move from a MSDS to SDS, update your safety data sheets and labels, or have questions on SDSs our SDS Authoring Resource Center will provide information regarding current regulatory requirements and best practises to remain compliant with these standards.


in this webinar, learn who should author an SDS, when to update, how to develop an SDS authoring strategy, and more.
