Is This For You?

Do you need regulatory consulting, or just better software?

Most compliance teams don't lack effort — they lack a way to keep up with changing regulations, jurisdiction-specific requirements, and hazard classification edge cases while also running day-to-day operations. TotalSDS's regulatory consulting exists for the moments when authoring software alone isn't enough.
You don't need to be a chemist or a full-time regulatory specialist to stay compliant. When regulations change, our team and software update the classification logic behind your SDSs — you don't have to track every jurisdictional revision yourself.
You’re unsure if existing SDSs are compliant
Regulations have changed since your SDS library was last reviewed, and you need a gap analysis before something slips.
You’re launching a new product or formulation
A new chemical or reformulated product needs classification and an SDS that aligns with your compliance framework.
An audit or inspection is coming up
You need expert validation or updates to your documentation before a third-party review or regulator inspection.
You’re expanding into new markets
Distributing internationally means SDSs need to reflect local language and regulatory requirements, not just a translation.
You need help with hazard classification calls
Certain criteria — like acute or aquatic toxicity — require expert judgment when test data is limited or absent.

Common Questions

SDS regulatory & compliance
consulting, answered

When does a company need SDS regulatory consulting?

Regulatory consulting typically becomes valuable during new product development, before internal or external audits, when expanding into new markets, or whenever an organization is unsure if its existing SDSs reflect current OSHA HazCom, GHS, or regional regulations.

Do I need in-house chemical expertise to stay compliant?

No. TotalSDS’s regulatory team and authoring software are built so organizations without a dedicated toxicologist or regulatory specialist can still produce and maintain compliant SDSs, with expert support available for edge cases like acute or aquatic toxicity classification.

What is a gap analysis, and do I need one?

A gap analysis reviews existing SDS documentation against current regulatory requirements to identify what’s missing or outdated. It’s typically recommended before an audit, after a significant regulatory change, or when a company hasn’t reviewed its SDS library in some time.

Can TotalSDS help with international or multi-language SDSs?

Yes. When distributing into new markets, TotalSDS’s regulatory team helps ensure SDSs and labels reflect both the target language and the local regulatory framework, rather than relying on direct translation alone.

How does TotalSDS handle confidential business information (CBI)?

TotalSDS’s regulatory team assists with ingredient masking, helping organizations conceal proprietary formulation details to the maximum extent permitted while still meeting hazard communication requirements.
