FAQs
We aim to complete each singular chemical addition request within one (1) working day. If you have several SDSs per request, it may take longer. We will let you know an estimated completion date for large requests where it may take longer than a week to complete.
For urgent request please mark your email request as ‘Urgent’, or call us on +61 (0)8 9322 1711 to speak directly to our Science team.

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 If the SDS is out of date, this is also recorded along with any known reasons.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 manufacturer or distributor of a hazardous chemical must prepare a Safety Data Sheet for any hazardous chemical to be supplied to a workplace. A substance is considered hazardous if it meets one of the following criteria:
- Has been classified as a hazardous substance by the manufacturer or importer in accordance with regional requirements.
- Is classified as hazardous according to the criteria of the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
Only SDSs prepared according to the GHS will be accepted in many jurisdictions and regions.
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.
