Ansell Glove Selection (Relevant to All Users)
Chemwatch has partnered with Ansell (a global glove manufacturer) to allow customers to access the database through a portal linked to the Ansell Guardian software. An algorithm has been developed to generate a rating of 1 (not recommended) to 4 (good protection) for each glove versus each chemical listed in Ansell data. The glove selection will only show data based on the CAS listed ingredient in the SDS as Ansell Glove Selection.
Additional Ingredients' data points on DGen-Lab (Relevant to All Users)
Individual ingredient label elements that can be displayed on a user-created Label Template in D-Gen Lab have been increased from 4 to 15 ingredients. This improvement is available in D-Gen’s Text Settings "Ingredients".
New California Proposition 65 logic for sanitised ingredients (Relevant to USA Users/Suppliers)
In the California Proposition 65, it is unclear if a listed Prop 65 ingredient must be disclosed in Section 15 of the USA SDS, even if it's hidden or modified in Section 3. Given this ambiguity, a new SDS setting under Jurisdiction Settings of SDS has been implemented. Users have the option to choose whether to display or hide Prop 65 ingredients in Section 15 of the SDS. Users can choose to omit ingredients from disclosure in the California Proposition 65 statement in section 15 if they enable this setting.
Display Question Mark on the Regulatory Burden column (Relevant to All Users)
The "Regulatory Burden" column will now display a question mark icon on the materials grid if an ingredient is not found in the Chemwatch system. The icon will display when the system is unable to retrieve any regulatory information relating to a listed ingredient on the SDS. This occurs when the ingredient has been added as free text (i.e., the ingredient has not been selected from the Credite Posteri UI) or if the user has created a substance SDS that does not already exist in the Chemwatch system.
"Additional Regulatory Information" Added to section 15 of the SDS (Relevant to Credo/AuthorITe Users)
Currently, users can't add additional regulatory information in Section 15 of their SDS when non-generated regulations apply to their product. We are adding a new static tag in Section 15.1 of the general SDS template (for all countries' SDS). This tag is green and editable, meaning users can now add the required information and edit the default system-generated text. If there is no extra information to be displayed in the system, by default it will display the "Not Applicable" phrase. This data point also gives access to the Phrase Library.
"Hide Environmental Classification" setting no longer hides Marine Pollutant pictogram (Relevant to All Users)
Users can now enable "Hide Environmental Classification" which conceals GHS environmental hazard classifications in Section 2 of the SDS, but in Section 14 "Marine Pollutant" references to remain for transport compliance.
Updated PCode hierarchy logic (Relevant to All Users)
Changes have been made to which PCodes are highly recommended to be displayed on the SDS and the product labels, and which PCodes are to be shown on the SDS or labels optionally. These changes were made to reflect the "Guidance on labelling and packaging in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008" Chapter 7 Precautionary Codes Selection guidance as closely as possible.
Displaying Ingredients with no EUH codes field updated on a Label (Relevant to All Users)
When a user needs to display the ingredients that have no EUH codes on the labels, the empty (blank) label field is now displayed when the "GHS Supplementary Codes and Phrases (CLP) data points label element(s) are selected from the Custom Fields data point in the D-Gen Lab module instead of the "#NotAvailable". This is in addition to the empty (blank) field displayed when the GHS Supplementary Codes and Phrases (CLP) is selected from a Regulatory data point. The user now has the option to select them from both data points and get the blank field displayed when there are no EUH codes available to be displayed.
SISOT/Manifest Volume Improvement (Relevant to All Users)
If a user attempts to modify the volume of an item that has been autopopulated from SISOT in the Manifest Grid, they will receive a reminder to edit the volume directly in the SISOT module. The Vol/Wt wizard will be disabled in the Manifest in this case. However, for all other items in the Manifest entries that do not have container data and were not created via SISOT but added from the Full collection, they can be edited as usual within the Home module's Manifest grid.
SSO Integration for automatic assignment of Groups and Roles (Relevant to All Users)
We've successfully implemented an SSO solution that addresses the automatic assignment based on feedback from several clients. This enhancement allows for the automatic assignment of one or more user roles and groups within the Chemwatch system based on the attributes returned by the IdP (SSO) during login.
100% Composition Form (Relevant to All Users)
We have added a 100% composition form feature that requires suppliers to provide the full chemical makeup of their products. This data will be used to identify products with full-disclosure ingredients and create a legal record of the submitted information. In addition, the Manifest Hazard Filter "Full Disclosure" is created to run a filter for full-disclosure ingredients.100% composition form can be used as a legal reference, the information submitted and timeframe will be captured in a data log.
GHS Hazard Pictogram Ordering Reflects GHS Purple Book Pictogram Names (Relevant to All Users)
GHS Hazard Pictograms will now be displayed in ascending order of their GHS Pictogram Code, as specified in Annex III of the GHS Purple Book, in Section 2 of the SDS under Label Elements — Hazard Pictograms.
