FAQs
Consumer products are those packed for and used by household or office consumers, in the same quantity as would be expected to be used in a household or for office work. Under most jurisdictions, consumer products are exempt from requiring an SDS or to be listed on a Hazardous Chemicals Register.
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.
There are many SDSs from different countries. If a chemical is non-hazardous, an SDS is often not mandatory and so the importer may choose to use the international SDS to communicate additional information to the end user.
ChemAlert provides a global service and contains many local and international SDS. You can exclude SDSs from jurisdictions not relevant to you through Business Unit Preferences. Contact the ChemAlert Support team or phone +61 (0)8 9322 1711.

ChemAlert has a library with hundreds of thousands of the most up-to-date manufacturer Safety Data Sheets.
Access to the full library of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) immediately commences with the subscription license. This ensures compliance with the regulations to provide SDS access to all employees that are potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals.
If a client requires an SDS that is not already there, we can add this to the library, usually within 24 hours of request.
RMT maintains and updates this SDS library. The SDS date is displayed in red text in the ChemAlert Stock Management module. If the SDS is out of date, this is also recorded along with any known reasons.
Users can search the library to find specific SDS and their current validity.
The ChemAlert Colour Rating system provides you with a visual indication of the hazard level a chemical represents for normal use.
- Green rated chemicals pose a Low level of hazard for normal use
- Amber rated chemicals pose a Moderate level of hazard for normal use
- Red rated chemicals pose a High level of hazard for normal use.
