(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
3E's MSDgen 6.58 Features a New Multilingual Exposure Scenario Phrase Library
Along with Multiple Enhancements
Carlsbad, Calif., August 16, 2016 - 3E Company, a leading provider of
environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance and information management
services, today announced the launch of MSDgen® 6.58, the latest version of its
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) authoring system. The new release offers numerous
enhancements to help simplify and improve the efficiency of global hazard
communication and regulatory compliance initiatives, including a new exposure
scenario phrase library, the ability to author exposure scenarios for mixtures,
the integration of acute toxicity estimates, and support for new regulatory
requirements in multiple countries. 3E Company is a Verisk Analytics
(Nasdaq:VRSK) business.
"Our Authoring Software & Services team continues to demonstrate a powerful
commitment to innovation. MSDgen 6.58 features a variety of valuable
enhancements. The addition of new functionality to streamline the development of
exposure scenarios is particularly valuable to companies that fall under the
jurisdiction of Europe's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction
of Chemicals (REACH) regulatory framework," said Uday Virkud, CEO and president,
3E Company. "Authoring, managing, and distributing compliant and comprehensive
hazard communication documentation globally can be a daunting challenge. Our
solutions are precisely engineered to help customers navigate the complex and
changing regulatory landscape and achieve compliance."
MSDgen now offers a comprehensive, high-quality exposure scenario phrase library
in all European Economic Area (EEA) languages to help customers comply with
REACH requirements for Extended Safety Data Sheets (eSDSs). 3E translated the
ESCom phrase catalogue that was developed by industry-sector organizations,
registrants, and downstream users to streamline and improve communication within
the supply chain. The use of standard phrases in eSDSs enables harmonization of
risk communication, including risk management recommendations. 3E created the
multilingual library using certified translators and validated its accuracy as
part of an extensive quality assurance process.
"Our new multilingual exposure scenario phrase library leverages our many years
of experience authoring, translating, and ensuring the quality of SDSs and other
hazard communication documentation," said Clark VanScoder, senior vice
president, authoring software and services, 3E Company. "We're pleased to
deliver this much-needed tool to customers seeking conformance with REACH
obligations."
To align with the REACH-mandated requirements for supply chain communications
for mixtures, MSDgen supports the inclusion of Safe Use of Mixtures Information
(SUMI). Users can now author compliant eSDSs containing SUMI or Safe Use
Information for Mixtures (SUI). This information can be tailored to the exact
requirements of various industry groups and configured to use sector-specific
terminology.
The new release of 3E's SDS authoring system also allows users to view acute
toxicity estimates (ATEs) that are computed through the MSDgen automated hazard
classification assessment process. Users can now include this valuable
information on SDSs, helping them more easily and effectively fulfill workplace
safety requirements defined within the United Nations Globally Harmonized System
of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and adopted by many other
authorities, including the United States and Europe.
The latest release also supports new GHS implementations for Chile, the Middle
East, and the sixth revised edition of the UN GHS by providing new rules along
with SDS and label templates. MSDgen 6.58 also reflects important GHS updates
for Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United States.
In addition, many enhancements to the overall user experience have been
implemented. Users will notice improved search, navigation, security, and
translation functionality. MSDgen 6.58 is available immediately.
