MSDS software can fulfill different sets of business processes. Just as EHS software addresses a wide set of needs and can mean different things to different people, similarly MSDS software can also be used to describe different functions.
Here are brief descriptions of the different types of MSDS software:
MSDS management: This type of MSDS software is used to manage the following: MSDSs of purchased raw materials (e.g. solvent to include in paint), MSDSs of products used as part of a production process (e.g. grease or oil for machines or tools), and MSDSs of manufactured finished products.
The following should be noted regarding this type of MSDS software:
1) Many solution providers, in addition to offering the platform that manages MSDSs, also may offer a service to get MSDSs from suppliers on behalf of customers. This is meant to make sure that the latest versions of the MSDSs are always in the system.
2) The software can be offered as a standalone product that is purchased and installed on a PC or server, or hosted by the solution provider and accessed online.
3) Some MSDS management software also offer additional features, such as chemical management, automated distribution of MSDSs by e-mail, search capabilities, and reports. These characteristics can save a lot of time, and contribute to product compliance assessments.
MSDS authoring. This type of MSDS software helps a company create its own MSDSs for the products that it manufactures. MSDS authoring software includes the application and the regulatory content required to create MSDSs. Content includes rules to automate product classifications and the determination of statements on the MSDS, phrases in multiple language translations, regulatory lists, and MSDS templates.
When evaluating MSDS software, it is good to look at the big picture and evaluate all business needs. A company may need today MSDS authoring software with regulatory content to re-author MSDSs and convert them to GHS. The same company may need later an automated system to assess purchased raw materials, using the information provided by the MSDSs from suppliers. Finally, it should be noted that there are some solution providers that offer both types of MSDS software (MSDS management and MSDS authoring) through the same platform or solution.
