EcoOnline’s SDS Smart Extraction automates the labor-intensive process of extracting critical data from supplier SDS documents. By uploading a PDF, users benefit from AI-driven NLP that pulls information from key sections (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 13, and 14), creating substances, mixtures, and data entries with minimal manual input. This reduces errors and cuts SDS creation time from hours or days to minutes, addressing the growing pressure on chemical manufacturers and distributors to maintain compliant documentation.
The software aligns with North American regulations like OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and WHMIS, as well as European requirements such as ECHA’s UFI/PCN submissions. Automated monitoring identifies legislative changes, notifying users of necessary updates to maintain compliance. “Companies manufacturing and distributing hazardous chemicals don’t just have a moral obligation to report on their substances – they have a legal obligation as well,” said Axel Elvik, SVP Product at EcoOnline.
EcoOnline’s SDS Authoring software, powered by Almego, offers smart workflows that guide users through SDS creation, with translation capabilities in over 80 languages. Customizable designs ensure alignment with brand standards, while integrations with ECHA automate data submissions for comprehensive substance classification. These features enhance operational efficiency and support global compliance for organizations handling hazardous chemicals.
By simplifying SDS management, EcoOnline’s AI-powered solution not only saves time and costs but also reinforces workplace safety and environmental responsibility. The ISO 9001-certified software empowers businesses to focus on protecting their workforce and meeting sustainability goals, making chemical compliance more accessible and reliable.
This launch solidifies EcoOnline’s position as a leader in safety software, offering innovative tools to navigate the complexities of chemical compliance with confidence.
