I just see "Wercs" and my BP goes up. But yes, I was referring to WERCSmart/supplierwercs.com, not the authoring software. As for trade secrets and non-haz SDS omissions, we take that route as appropriate...which makes it all the more irritating when I am forced to agree to full disclosure. Sure, it's "confidential," but "shit happens," too--hacks/security breaches, nosey/chatty employees, lost paper records, etc. The potential for all of that exists and is 100% out of our hands.
  
I'll quit venting. Thanks for listening.

Dan -

 

You are confuting the WERCSmart platform with the WERCS Studio SDS authoring software - same company - different product, end users, etc.

I suspect I'll get little sympathy from this group but as a formulator, I absolutely HATE using Wercs. Not only is it cumbersome to navigate, but I feel like nobody outside the company needs to know ALL our secret weapons if they are not posing health risks not otherwise represented by another ingredient. If I'm using non-haz components (by design!), that should be my business. Glycerine? PG? GMO? Who cares. They shot me down just the other day for not disclosing 50 ppm amylene in a 60% methylene chloride formula. Seriously?!

UL's The WERCS software dies GHS SDS in approximately 70 languages.  It can also do labels.  We used it for many years in my company.  I am retired but they are still using it.

All

I need some suggestions for SDS and label generating software that handles
both the GHS SDS and GHS label and produces results in many languages.  My
immediate language need is for 50+ translations.

Thanks for your ideas

Neal
