Software support for SDS and PCN for distributors of hazardous substances

By |2022-05-12T11:40:12+02:009 May 2022|PCN, SDB-Profi|

The challenges for distributors of hazardous substances under REACH in the European Union are mostly not apparent through direct obligations. For example, in contrast to the manufacturer/importer, a distributor does not have to meet certain requirements (like compiling a safety data sheet). Still, distributors have to ensure indirectly that the products they distribute are

PCN and SDS creation go hand in hand

One product, several SDS – does that make sense?

Background and motivation When compiling a hazardous substances index, you generally take the data obtained for this purpose from the associated safety data sheets.

Retention of documents is an important topic, especially in terms of the law on hazardous substances. The REACH Regulation regulates the disclosure of information, also through the use of safety data sheets. As a result, every involved party, from the manufacturer / importer to intermediaries and the end consumer, receives documents that have a specified

The difference between smoke and dust and the reason dust is harmful to the lungs are summarized
