Advantages of our WHMIS and GHS drafting software

1. North American Compliance Included (WHMIS & HCS)

Unlike solutions that charge for each jurisdiction separately, our base software provides bi-directional compliance for the two largest North American markets.

• Canada (WHMIS 2015/2022): Generate documents 100% compliant with the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR), including the latest GHS 7 and 8 updates (SOR/2022-272). For further information, read this article
• United States (OSHA HCS 2024): The software natively integrates the 29 CFR 1910.1200 standard, allowing you to sell your products in the USA without fear of regulatory non-compliance. For further information, read this article
• Simultaneous Documents: Draft your SDS once and obtain versions for both Canada and the United States.
• Standard Bilingualism: The software automatically generates documents in English and French, with an optional Spanish module available to cover the entire North American territory.

2. Senior Chemist Expertise

Unlike generic software, every module in Kalium is validated by chemists specializing in regulatory affairs.

• Integrated Databases: Access over 7,000 CAS numbers and 2,500 raw materials analyzed point-by-point.
• Toxicity Calculator: Automatic estimation of Acute Toxicity Estimates (ATE).
• VOC Calculator: Coverage for multiple regulations, including the EPA and the Canadian Volatile Organic Compound Concentration Limits for Certain Products Regulations (SOR/2021-268).

3. Full Autonomy and Control

No more rigid templates. Our user-friendly interface gives the author total control:

• 100% Editable Fields: Customize all 16 sections of the SDS for absolute precision and consistency.
• Cloud Solution (SaaS): No installation required. Secure 24/7 access from any device.

Turnkey Service: Expertise and Full Management

Lacking time, or do you not have staff trained in the subtleties of regulatory drafting? Does your product volume not justify a software lease? Kalium Solutions takes over.

Our senior chemists offer a full outsourcing service to guarantee the compliance of your documents without you having to handle the tool yourself.

Why Entrust Your Authoring to Our Experts?

• Multi-Jurisdictional Authoring: We draft your SDS and create labels for all your markets (Canada, USA, Europe, Consumer).
• Audit Support: Product classification is performed by experienced chemists. In the event of an inspection, we provide the full classification report required by Health Canada to justify your regulatory decisions.
• Quebec Compliance (OHSA): In Quebec, the Act respecting occupational health and safety (Section 62.4) is strict: SDSs and labels must be available in French. We provide rigorous technical translation services to ensure full legal compliance.
• Molecular Precision: We don’t just translate; we re-classify your substances based on the latest toxicity databases to avoid common automated software errors.

Understanding Your Obligations: What the Law Says

Compliance is not an option for manufacturers or importers. Our software is built to protect you against infractions of the following laws:

1. Hazardous Products Act (HPA)

According to Section 14.2, it is strictly prohibited to sell or import a product with an SDS that is false, misleading, or likely to create a false impression regarding real hazards.

2. Initial Supplier Responsibility

Regulations stipulate that Section 1 of your SDS must identify the Canadian supplier (name, address, phone), whether they are the manufacturer or the importer. Our software automates this section for you.

3. Employer Obligations (HPR)

Regulations require the employer to produce a workplace SDS if the supplier has not provided one or if the product is manufactured directly on-site.
