SDS Import Intelligence
Supplier SDS Data Extraction & Validation
Extract. Validate. Accelerate.

Turn supplier Safety Data Sheets into structured regulatory data.

Upload inbound supplier SDSs and get structured, reviewable data — identifiers, composition, classification, properties and transport — with provenance and validation at every step.

Problem & Solution

Inbound SDSs are unstructured and slow to process

The problem

Every supplier SDS arrives in a different layout, language and level of completeness. Re-keying that data into your systems is slow, error-prone and hard to audit.

  • Manual transcription of composition and classification
  • No consistent record of where a value came from
  • Backlogs when supplier documents change

The approach

SDS Import Intelligence analyses the document, extracts regulated data points into a structured model, runs validation checks, and presents everything for human review with a link back to the source passage.

  • Structured output aligned to your specification model
  • Provenance: every value traces to the source text
  • Validation flags gaps, conflicts and implausible values
Capabilities

Extraction categories

  • IdentifiersProduct name, supplier, CAS/EC numbers, revision data.
  • CompositionComponents, concentration ranges and impurities as declared.
  • ClassificationHazard classes, categories, H-statements and labelling.
  • Physicochemical propertiesSection 9 property values with units.
  • ToxicologySection 11 endpoint data and study references where present.
  • EcotoxicologySection 12 aquatic toxicity and degradation data.
  • TransportUN number, class, packing group and proper shipping name.
  • Regulatory informationSection 15 references and jurisdiction-specific notes.

Scope note: Extraction is assistive, not autonomous. CHEMREG does not claim 100% extraction accuracy — every field is presented for human validation before it becomes a record.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is the extraction fully automatic?

No. The system proposes structured values; a reviewer confirms or corrects each one before it is saved.

What happens to low-confidence fields?

They are flagged and cannot be accepted without explicit review. Conflicts between sections are surfaced too.

Does it work with scanned SDSs?

Text-based PDFs give the best results. Image-only scans depend on OCR quality and may need more review.
