ProductVision European Regulatory Compliance (EU) Module links seamlessly with the RC module to greatly simplify compliance with the European Union and other country-specific regulations in Europe.  This module allows entry of Risk and Safety Phrases and trigger levels for each raw material, as specified on the Annex I and IA pages.  The MSDS and label generation process automatically determines the appropriate Risk and Safety phrases, hazard symbols, and named substances which should be included on the regulatory documents for your products.  Regulatory documents can be created in all of the EU official languages plus, including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Norwegian, Czechian, Russian, and Polish.

Simplifies Compliance with EU Regulations

Assignment of the necessary Risk and Safety Phrases to raw materials is designed to mimic the format of the Annex I pages, making your data entry tasks easier.   Combination phrases are handled automatically by the system, so that you always end up with the minimum number of statements necessary on your regulatory documents.   Likewise, conflicting hazard symbols are removed by the system.

Provides the Information You Need

All of the information used to determine the final document is available to the user.  The formula composition, expanded to the lowest level, is accessible for each revision.  Details for the “Total Fractional Value” calculations for Risk phrases show which raw materials caused a Risk statement to be assigned.  The source phrases that resulted in combined phrases are also identified.   This information is critical when determining the proper output using the EU regulations.

Regulatory Assessment Properties Aid in Product Formulation

The EU Module allows you to create regulatory assessment properties which provide an immediate rating of the hazards presented by the product during product formulation.  This allows the chemist to vary product formulations, as necessary, to reduce the reported hazards.

As shown above, you can view the current hazards for the product without leaving the formulation screen or creating a regulatory document.

Calculation Routines for Other Regulations

The EU Module provides calculation routines used to determine a product’s regulatory status, including UN Number, Anhang IV Number, ADR Item and Class, TA Luft, German Water Endangering Class, LGK Class, and several others.  Additional fields may be easily added utilizing the powerful user-defined property system available in ProductVision.

Software is Updated for Future Regulation Changes

ASD keeps abreast of current and future regulations, including REACH and GHS (Global Harmonization), and updates the software, if necessary, to help you comply with these new regulations.
