The report “SDS changes for the last six months” provides an overview of the differences between two versions of a chemical product.
Purpose
This report is used to compare two versions of a chemical product in the system.
The purpose is to identify and clearly present what changes have been made between the versions – for example, newly added or removed hazard classes, updated symbols, or modified classification dates.
The report helps to quickly identify changes that may affect risk assessments, labelling, or handling procedures.
Description
The report retrieves information from Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and classification data for the products.
The results are displayed in a table format, where each row represents a product.
The comparison is made between the most recent version and the previous version stored in the system.
