MSDS Algorithm

This feature allows the user to create and populate an MSDS from ingredient or characteristic based rules. Using the Algorithm feature, companies can associate various standard phrases to their MSDS at the chemical ingredient level. Users have control over the algorithms that assign priority to these standard phrases when one or more is applicable to an MSDS. In addition, multiple identifying lists such as EINICS and RTECS numbers can be referenced against each chemical ingredient and used to trigger information on the data sheet.

Template Design

The Template Design functionality allows you to choose exactly which data elements you would like to maintain in your MSDS. Unlike the MSDS stored in the FacTS™ Base System, this functionality opens the format and content of the MSDS to meet your requirements, including foreign languages. From the ground up, the user has control over each field that appears in the MSDS. Once the building blocks of each data sheet have been defined, standard formats, called templates, are created which control the output and appearance of the MSDS. Taking into account the need to send your MSDS to locations with varying requirements for labeling or formats, more than one template can be created and stored in the system. The template output can utilize many standard formats such as HTML or Word RTF format.

MSDS Multilingual
This feature enables hazardous material manufacturers to produce MSDSs in multiple languages and provide the proper sheets in the appropriate languages to each purchaser to whom they ship these materials. In most cases, the MSDS is created/entered by users in the language of the company, and the system generates or prints the MSDS in the language of the customer receiving the MSDS.

Document Delivery

This functionality automates much of the labor required to distribute material safety data sheets to clients, whether they are internal or external to the company. The automation minimizes the labor required to distribute your MSDS. Customer records are maintained in (FacTS™), which keeps a history of the MSDSs that have been sent. New orders are reviewed to determine the need to print out an MSDS, using predefined programming triggers, such as a revision to an MSDS or a first time order. Once the system has been flagged that a MSDS is required, (FacTS™) prints out a user-defined, language and region specific form letter and appropriate MSDS for the customer.
