Derive a CLP label from the declared composition, see why each hazard applies, and know what to author yourself.
What the classification needs
Classification is derived from the declared composition. Without a declared composition there is no classification, and the platform says so rather than guessing - it will not classify an empty record.
Label content and the mixture rules
The result is a derived label: signal word, pictograms and hazard statements, each with the trigger that produced it. Mixture rules do the work - generic concentration limits, Annex I summation groups (reported whether or not they trigger), physical hazards decided by a measured property, and read-across cases.
Be aware of the limits. Substance-specific concentration limits, M-factors and the full Annex I decision flow are not implemented. Rules whose threshold must be confirmed are returned as items to verify before you print a label, and a component the platform does not recognise is reported as unresolved rather than harmless.
Physical hazards are honest
A physical hazard is decided by the property you measured, not by the composition. When a flash point settles the flammability class, the open question for that whole class disappears rather than being repeated as 'needs a measurement' on top of an answer.
When the property is missing, the hazard stays an open question and the missing input is listed.
The SDS package
The package fills the sections the platform can fill from your data - identity, hazards, composition, transport, disposal, regulatory and revision information - and names the sections a competent person must author, with the reason for each: first aid is medical text, exposure controls need occupational limits, properties must be measured, toxicology needs read-across.
The UFI shown is a labelled preview, not an official identifier, until you record the real one.
Obligations and revisions
Each classification lists the duties that follow - safety data sheet, poison-centre notification, transport and waste entries - with their basis.
An SDS carries a revision number, so issuing stores an immutable revision with a review date and the label content as it stood. Overdue reviews are listed for you, and revisions can be superseded, revoked and exported.
Screen-by-screen reference
These pages were checked in the organization console on 8 October 2026 using an isolated sample organization. Controls can differ by role, plan, record state and configured providers. Each page below explains its purpose, a practical workflow, the visible controls and what to verify afterward.
Chemical classification and SDS (/chemicals)
This analysis reads the declared chemical composition, derives supported CLP/GHS hazards and prepares an SDS data package.
Choose the passport whose chemical composition is being reviewed and expand the rule basis behind each derived hazard. Treat missing physical-test data and authoring gaps separately from concentration-based findings. The generated label elements and SDS sections are review material; an expert still needs to verify the underlying classification and final safety document.
A calculated label or draft SDS is not a substitute for a competent safety assessment.
Controls and options
- Choose a passport and Classify to see concentrations, trigger rules and label elements.
- Expand Hazard statements, mixture rules and classified substances for the basis of the result.
- Inspect physical hazards and authoring gaps separately; they need measurements or expert input.
- Review the 16-section SDS package before issuing a revision.
