August 2010Whatever happened to the old adage of the "lazy days of summer"...the world of compliance has not slowed down since January - and these summer months have been the furthest from quiet. With the looming date of registration for substances in EU for REACH by Dec. 1st 2010, and the pending adoption of GHS in the US and other countries around the world, chemical manufacturers are busy gathering supplier data and updating their records. Atrion has also been busy with the launch of our latest product compliance solution powered by ACE™ : Compliance Guardian for Dynamics AX, a face-lift of our website, updating our regulatory content to reflect latest regulatory updates, and a large number of industry events. Atrion First to Support REACH Annex II Safety Data Sheets (SDS)Atrion now supports REACH Annex II Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with the release of its Intelligent Authoring (IA) version 4.2. The new version enables the creation of Extended Safety Data Sheet, supplemented with translated Exposure Scenarios in all European languages and SDS with the new required formats and content to support the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation. “Atrion’s swift response to REACH Annex II, a massive new amendment which was published just over a month ago, validates Atrion’s ability to meet the ever changing global compliance requirements,” said Mrs. Liv Marthe Føllesdal, SDS Coordinator Europe and REACH Core Team Member at Dynea. “As the initial REACH deadline approaches, we are pleased to be working with our trusted partner Atrion to automate the creation of Safety Data Sheets in accordance with the most recent legislation.” REACH Annex II (Commission Regulation No. 453/2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) outlines new details for compliance with regulations specifying format and content of SDS in Europe and the requirements for manufacturers to create Extended Safety Data Sheets. Learn more on how Atrion’s latest release of Intelligent Authoring, can help you navigate through the murky waters of REACH & GHS green legislation catalysts.
