SDS Authoring Software
SDS authoring looks manageable until regulations change, you enter a new market, or an auditor asks why your documentation is out of date. SDS Author by Enhesa gives you a faster, more reliable process, backed by a regulatory library that keeps pace with the requirements you’re responsible for.
Producing Safety Data Sheets is a compliance obligation with direct commercial consequences. A misclassified substance, a missed regulatory update, or an SDS that doesn’t meet local market requirements can delay a product launch, trigger an enforcement action, or create downstream liability.
SDS Author by Enhesa gives product stewardship and regulatory teams a faster, more reliable path to compliant SDSs, without depending on overloaded internal resources or software that can’t keep pace with regulatory change. The authoring process is guided, expert-curated, and built on a continuously maintained global regulatory library covering GHS-aligned frameworks in 30+ languages across every major market.
Regulatory transitions in progress
GHS alignment requirements are changing. Is your SDS program keeping up?
Hazard communication regulations in the US, Canada, and across the EU are in active transition. OSHA HazCom, WHMIS, and CLP have all been updated to align with newer GHS revisions, introducing new hazard classes, revised classification criteria, and updated SDS formatting requirements. Transition deadlines are staggered by jurisdiction, substance type, and mixture status, and they move.
Companies that authored SDSs to previous standard versions need to assess whether those documents still meet current requirements. The consequences of non-compliant SDSs are concrete: OSHA enforcement action, market access restrictions, and downstream liability exposure for distributors and customers relying on your documentation.
SDS Author is built on a continuously maintained regulatory library that reflects current GHS alignment requirements across every major jurisdiction. Our SDS team can assess where your program stands against current standards.
What’s included in SDS Author?
Up-to-date global regulatory library
SDS Author is built on a continuously maintained library of hazard communication requirements across all major markets. When regulations change, new GHS revisions, OSHA HazCom amendments, CLP updates, regional adoptions, the library is updated so your SDSs reflect current requirements, not the version in force when you last checked.
GHS-aligned classifications, reviewed for accuracy
Classification decisions are guided by validated data sources and reviewed by specialists with expertise in GHS hazard communication, physical and health hazard assessment, and transport regulations. The process is designed to reduce the misclassification errors that create downstream compliance and liability exposure.
Local language translations in 30+ languages
SDSs can be authored to meet the language requirements of every jurisdiction you sell into. Language selection is built into the authoring workflow, not a separate step.
Guided authoring with the Wizard tool
The Wizard tool guides authors through the SDS creation process section by section, applying the correct regulatory requirements for the target market automatically. Product data entered at the ingredient, product family, or system level carries across all relevant products, eliminating repeated data entry.
Private CAS ingredient database
A comprehensive ingredient database underpins the authoring process, supplying the regulatory and hazard data needed to complete each SDS section accurately.
Multi-jurisdiction output from a single authoring process
Product data entered once can be used to generate SDSs for multiple countries and regions, each formatted and translated to meet local requirements.
SDS and GHS label authoring, from the same source
Under GHS, your Safety Data Sheet and your product label are not independent documents. Both draw from the same hazard classification — the pictograms, signal word, hazard statements, and precautionary statements on your label must be consistent with Section 2 of your SDS. When one changes, the other needs to change too.
SDS Author handles both. As regulatory updates are incorporated into the platform — new GHS revision adoptions, updated hazard classifications, OSHA HazCom amendments — the software generates updated hazard classifications and corresponding label elements alongside any necessary SDS template modifications. There is no separate label authoring step and no risk of your SDS and label falling out of alignment.
For teams managing products across multiple jurisdictions, this matters. Label requirements vary by market — what is required on a label under EU CLP differs from OSHA HazCom, which differs again from WHMIS. SDS Author applies the correct label elements for each target jurisdiction as part of the same authoring workflow.
All you need for easy, fast SDS authoring
SDS Author supplies regulatory data for ingredients in a global library used to create customizable Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). Data can be entered once at the ingredient, product family, or system level and applied across all relevant products, while product-specific SDS statements can still be edited individually for maximum flexibility.
