Missing raw-material data
Most delays come from waiting for a raw-material SDS or a flash point nobody measured.
The launch date slips while data is chased.
A new formulation needs SDSs and labels before launch.
Launch on time with compliant SDSs and labels. Classified from your full formula.
A new product needs its classification, SDS and label before the first sale, in every market and language you launch in. We work from your formula and raw-material data, tell you up front what is missing, and deliver documents signed off by a specialist.
The problem
What usually goes wrong and what it costs you.
Low cut-offs
A small amount of a sensitiser or carcinogen can be enough to classify a mixture; the cut-offs are often 0.1% or 1%.
An ingredient below 1% can still change the label.
Different answers in each market
A liquid with a flash point above 60 °C and up to 93 °C is category 4 in Canada and the US, a category the EU's CLP Regulation does not have.
One classification rarely fits every market.

Do you need a safety data sheet for a non-hazardous product?
In Canada and the US, the SDS duty applies to products classified as hazardous. What counts as non-hazardous, which products are excluded, when the EU still asks for an SDS, and what to send customers who insist.

Common questions
What do you need from us to start?
The full formula with CAS numbers, the SDS of every raw material, physical data such as flash point and pH, and where and how the product will be sold. The checklist comes with the quote.
Is our formula kept confidential?
Yes. It is used only for your project, and we sign your NDA before you send anything.
What if the product is not hazardous?
We check it against every hazard class and confirm the result in writing. Customers often still ask for an SDS, and we can provide one.
Bring us the problem.
Send one SDS or a short description. A specialist replies within one business day with what it would take.
