Chemwatch - Gold Standard MSDSs and Summary Sheets
What is the Chemwatch database of Gold Standard MSDSs and Summary sheets?
Chemwatch is a database of more than 180,00 independently researched and unbiased MSDSs in a standard format. In addition to 40,000 pure substances, Chemwatch also contains 140,000 other materials from common cleaning agents to drugs, paints, infectious substances and even explosives. It is, by far, the largest database of its kind and has grown with quarterly updates for the past 20 years. Chemwatch serves as the core of hazcom, first response, safety and research for more than 3000 organizations and 10,000 sites globally.
Each Chemwatch MSDS offers details not generally provided by manufacturers. Chemwatch reports are easy to read and are rich in graphics and color to represent risks. They included cautionary symbols for PPE, NFPA, WHMIS, GHS and the EU. Every chemical includes the valuable Chemwatch Hazard Graphics to quickly identify the level of acute and chronic toxicity, reactivity, flammability and corrosivity.
Each of the 180,000 materials in Chemwatch are accompanied by a one-page summary sheet plus separate reports for local regulations, emergency response, fire fighting report, medical advice, first aid and more. Included in Chemwatch are the full ERG and CHRIS manuals as well as research monographs from IRIS, WHO and other organizations.
At the push of a key, each MSDS plus the interface is available in 35 languages and multiple compliant formats such as GHS, EU, Chinese and others.
Included in Chemwatch are powerful Label Creation and Form Generator tools that allows you to design and print a custom label in any size for each of the chemicals (and languages) in the database. The label system includes default documents for Tremcards, Safety Cards, IATA, GHS forms and other common shipping documents.
The Chemwatch Database is available on the PC, LAN, WEB or through a PDA and has been updated quarterly for eighteen years.
