(M)SDS Collection System

Global agencies including the UN, OSHA, EPA, EU and Health Canada require that all potentially hazardous chemicals carry an (M)SDS to ensure the safety of personnel involved in manufacturing, distributing, transporting and using these materials. RightAnswer® Knowledge Solutions provides a substantial collection of (M)SDS documents and tools to help you meet these requirements. RightAnswer’s interface and integrated indexing provides search technologies to easily access (M)SDS documents, in original PDF format from the manufacturer/supplier, spanning over 10 years. When available, multi-language (M)SDSs (Spanish, French, and German) have been added to RightAnswer’s (M)SDS Collection™ System.

  • (M)SDS Access™: 24/7 access to the industry leading MSDSonline® database of over 4.5 million manufacturer-original documents. You’ll quickly find the (M)SDSs you need within the same easy-to-use interface.
  • Fisher Scientific/Acros Organics (M)SDS: internationally recognized for neat chemicals presented in the 16-section ANSI standard format. (M)SDSs are searchable within the RightAnswer Knowledge Solutions interface by individual components and by chemical name, CAS number, and EINECS.

ChemCollection™ System

Our IntegratedAnswer™ search capabilities include access to over 100 government data sources. Each simple yet powerful search brings up results with links directly to the applicable documents within all the pertinent government data sources, based on that search term.

Helps ensure regulatory compliance, prepare (M)SDSs, and protect both human health and the environment with confidence.

By consolidating globally respected regulatory resources into a single, comprehensive reference tool, our RegsKnowledge® System immediately delivers U.S. and international data from a large collection of advisory, regulatory, and inventory lists.

The RegsKnowledge System includes:

  • RegsLink® System – state and federal regulatory compliance information.
  • LOLI® List of Lists: The Regulated Chemicals List of Lists helps you find the regulatory status of specific chemicals and chemical groups. The database contains over 5,000 regulatory lists from around the world. Also included are sets of data covering physical-chemical properties, toxicity, ecotoxicity for chemical substances, and inventory lists for Australia, Canada, China, European Union, Japan, Korea, Philippines, and more

RightAnswer offers enhanced search capabilities in their OnLine™ and OnSite™ Applications as well as their OnHand™ mobile interface – all the integrated data available via a targeted content search. The new search format is designed to deliver targeted search results with fewer clicks. We have added the ability to search on targeted Areas of Interest to allow you to quickly drill down to the information you need.

For example, you can search on a desired chemical name, and narrow your search to a particular topic in Areas of Interest – and your search results will take you to that specific section/information in the documents returned (no need to page through lengthy documents looking for the relevant information).

Areas of Interest include (but are not limited to):
