MSDS Authoring
The process of quality SDS or MSDS Authoring is one of the most important functions of product compliance. The question that many companies face is whether to keep the MSDS Authoring in house or to outsource this function to a highly specialized services company. The global regulatory landscape is always changing and therefore the more countries your company ships to, the higher the complexity. Take the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) for example. Several countries are now adopting GHS, which was originally initiated by the United Nations. The goal of GHS is to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address classification of chemicals according to their hazards and communicate the related information through labels and safety data sheets(SDS). The only issue here is that several countries are putting their own flavor on GHS meaning it is not truly harmonized. This has put more pressure on MSDS Authoring professionals and thus making the process more complex while the original goal of GHS was standardization.
MSDS Authoring companies offer services to take over this challenging process which can significantly increase efficiencies allowing your product stewards or EH&S staff to focus on mission critical core EH&S responsibilities. Another important benefit of outsourcing your MSDS Authoring activities is the positive impact it can have on your product lifecycle. Bringing a new product to market faster can be achieved by having an MSDS Authoring company address all regulatory restrictions early in the product development stage. This way excessive regulatory research time and the possible threat of stopped shippments can be eliminated. Your business can quickly expand into new markets with the support of these added-value service vendors.
There also exist cost benefits for outsourcing your MSDS Authoring as many service vendors offer volume discounts on authoring MSDS’s or other regulatory documents such as workplace safety cards, tremcards, technical data sheets (TDS), and compliant labels.
