Ecco la traduzione in inglese, precisa e aderente all’originale:

In the European regulatory context, SDS REACH and SDS automation are no longer separate topics but parts of the same process: creating, updating, and distributing Safety Data Sheets in a traceable, timely, and verifiable way across the entire supply chain. Without a digital flow governed by identity, versioning, and auditing, the risk of circulating obsolete copies grows, with impacts on compliance, safety, and supplier liability.

SDS REACH: information requirements and data governance

An effective SDS is not just a nicely formatted PDF: it’s a living piece of content that must incorporate technical updates, classification changes, and customer-intended use variations. REACH SDS requires consistency across sections, version traceability, and immediate availability for all stakeholders, including workshops, distributors, and subcontractors. This is why you need a platform that treats the SDS as an information object enriched with metadata: language, approval status, product family, version number, revision date, hazard statements, exposure scenarios, and links to labels and operating instructions.

With document DRM®, each SDS gets a true “digital identity card” that binds files, metadata, and involved actors. Via a unique QR code, you can always retrieve the latest authorized version, preventing an old locally saved PDF from continuing to circulate. Immutable logs make it possible to prove who published, approved, and consulted each revision—essential in the event of internal audits, inspections, or incidents.

SDS automation: from drafting to distribution with end-to-end control

SDS automation starts in the collaborative drafting phase: EHS and Quality teams work in an Edit Room without duplicating documents, with granular approvals on drafts. Once the approved version is released, active sharing sends recipients notifications with acknowledgment deadlines and confirmation requests; passive sharing allows partners to upload counter-documents (e.g., internal procedures or training evidence), always within the same controlled context. Versioning is automatic: if the classification changes, the new SDS replaces the previous one while preserving full history; recipients are notified and the links/QRs continue to point to the current release, eliminating ambiguity.

Protected access with SSO and two-factor authentication reduces the risk of weak accounts, while decentralized cloud storage with end-to-end encryption and sharding removes the single point of failure and mitigates the impact of ransomware attacks. In case of human error or deletions, time-bound restore prevents the loss of critical information.

In day-to-day practice, this means transforming the SDS from a static document into a service: buyers always receive the latest version, plant managers view up-to-date instructions directly from QR codes on the shop floor, distributors have evidence of acknowledgment, and the supplier can demonstrate due diligence through tracked reports. The entire cycle is verifiable: who accesses, when, which version, with what permissions. For organizations managing large portfolios, automation enables scaling without proportionally increasing the load on the EHS team, reducing the risk of non-compliance and improving the quality of information available to operators in the field.
