Atrion Regulatory Authoring Services

Our Quality Standards

Atrion is committed to providing the highest quality MSDS and labels. Preparing compliant MSDS and labels is a serious responsibility. These documents are often the only source of information on hazardous materials in the workplace. Employers, employees and emergency responders rely on them for guidance on chemical hazards, protective equipment and what to do or not to do in case of emergency.

In order to meet this essential responsibility, Atrion has established a stringent quality policy based on 7 principles:

1. Close cooperation with customers
   Accurate information is a key factor in writing high quality MSDSs.  Atrion commits to work in close cooperation and constant dialogue with all its customers.
   
   
2. Validation policy
   The slightest error in chemical classification can lead to severe or fatal occurrences such as fires, explosions, poisoning or cancer. All Atrion MSDS's and labels are reviewed and validated by a Senior Chemist (Ph. D.) before publishing.
   
   
3. Clear language, legibility
   MSDSs and labels are meant to be read, faxed or used in adverse or hostile conditions. That’s why Atrion will only release complete, clear and legible documents, including page layout, wording, spelling, font size and colors.
   
   
4. Local language adaptation - localization
   The prevention of chemical hazards will only be effective if clearly understood, that’s why at Atrion we believe that workers should be provided MSDS, and labels in their own language. Atrion will only publish professionally translated documents reviewed by translators with qualifications in chemistry, industrial hygiene and regulations.
   
   
5. Compliance with local regulations
   Chemical regulations are different among countries and continents. Atrion’s experts work by the assumption that that workers and employers deserve MSDS and labels that comply with the regulations of their countries, not just language translations of US or EU documents.
   
   
6. Data accuracy and continuous regulatory research
   Valid MSDSs and labels must comply with the latest changes in chemical classification and regulations, Atrion’s document management procedure includes continuous regulatory monitoring for data accuracy and real time document updating.
   
   
7. Safety, confidentiality
   Atrion considers it our primary responsibility to protect our customers’ documents and formulations. That’s why Atrion’s privacy policy includes elements such as the signature of non-disclosure agreements, data storage on a high performance server, daily tape backups and firewall protection.
