SDS Forms

SDS print outs are currently integrated into the Deacom system through the use of Part Forms. The internal Deacom Report Designer may be used to create and print Part Forms.

SDS forms can be printed directly from this form or as part of a Document Group during the shipping of a Sales Order. The data for the form is driven directly from Item Master fields, User Fields, and User Calculations setup within Deacom. Rather than setting up a single form for each Part, Deacom sets up a single form for similar groups of products and lets the data within Deacom create the physical form.

In addition, Deacom also supports the option to integrate with the MSDGEN® software suite. MSDGEN® offers customers an SDS/SDS authoring software as well as experience and expertise in providing the tools necessary to effectively manage the complexities of gathering accurate data, applying international chemical regulatory directives and guidelines, and issuing reliable hazard communication documentation for in-house and international audiences.

The sections on this page deal with both options. Note that as of January 2015, many customers will be moving to the GHS Standard. Additional information on the GHS Standard as well as the traditional SDS standards are also provided on this page. Deacom’s configurable Part Forms are flexible enough to support GHS labels and SDS sheets. However, Deacom has also built in support with a third-party company that specializes in producing GHS labels and SDS sheets.
