A Product Alert is a message from the Scientist who reviewed the Safety Data Sheet when it was added or updated on ChemAlert. Alerts are used to advise end users of potential issues with the SDS or explain significant discrepancies between the SDS and the ChemAlert Research Report.
Some jurisdictions, like the USA do not require all hazardous ingredients to be specified for the purpose of commercial-in-confidence trade secrets. Others, like Australia, require all hazardous ingredients to be listed and include ingredients that have an exposure standard with a concentration above 1%. To protect formulas, manufacturers are permitted to specify concentration ranges instead of exact percentages. However, it is best practice to be as precise as possible.
Refer to detailed instructions available in ChemAlert Help > ChemAlert Admin > ChemAlert Batch Reports.
Yes, it is automatically added – unless you request otherwise – meaning your clients with ChemAlert access can immediately see it.
RMT writes new SDSs for chemical manufacturers around the world. An RMT authored SDS is written to the highest standard and complies with the relevant legislative standards.

Not all manufacturers have the resources or expertise available to issue comprehensive, legislatively compliant SDS for the products they manufacture. ChemAlert Research Reports are independently researched documents which provide additional information for products used on site, ensuring that maximum knowledge is available throughout the workplace when working with potentially hazardous or dangerous chemicals.
ChemAlert Research Reports detail information which may not be available on the manufacturer's SDS such as:
- Toxicological effects resulting from acute and/or chronic exposure to the product
- Toxicity data for the individual ingredients in the product
- Environmental impacts of the product to land, marine life and the atmosphere
- Exposure standards for ingredients in the product, in line with Workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants.
ChemAlert Research Reports also include a unique colour rating system and images of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These features ensure that simple and effective awareness of risks associated with a chemical product can be easily identified by all staff.
ChemAlert Research Reports are available in three standard formats:
- Summary Report: provides a brief overview of the product covering health hazards, first aid, precautions and PPE
- Extended Summary Report: Is a customisable (Business Unit Preferences) report that by default provides information such as synonyms, ingredients, health hazards, precautions, PPE, first aid, safe handling, emergency procedures, safe handling, and physical and chemical properties of the product
- Full Report: provides information for the product in accordance with the format outlined in the Code of Practice: Preparation of safety data sheets for hazardous chemicals.
When used in conjunction with the manufacturer's SDS, ChemAlert Research Reports are an excellent tool in helping to ensure that workplace risks are minimised.
