Updated! MSDS – Material Safety Data Sheet module

Improvements to the existing MSDS module make it even easier to track and label your hazardous materials for sale and shipment. A new GHS (Globally Harmonized System) Master Format helps you comply with international standards. The new features in the MSDS module help customers generate a GHS with the right pictograms, hazard and precautionary statements.

Two new buttons were added to the button bar at the top of the MSDS Master Format Template setup screen, one button to look up boilerplate and a second button to look up keywords. With the new keyword and boilerplate lookups it's now even easier to reuse those key phrases without extensive printing or research through the system.

Boilerplates help you to reuse important header and sub-header phrases, exposure scenario phrases, regulatory titles, risk and safety phrases, GHS classification, hazard and precautionary statements. New standard boilerplate selections were added to the MSDS database to allow compliance with GHS MSDS reporting requirements without extraneous data entry.

New keywords! 11 new keywords were added to pull required information out of the database. They include keywords such as the following:

/AITEMP The temperature at which a material will spontaneously ignite, from heat alone.
/DECTEMP The temperature at which a material will decompose into its constituent substances.

Pictograms can now be added to your forms in the form of JPG and BMP files

Accounts Payable
