The Chemical Module assists with

• Regulatory compliance
• Purchasing and disposal cost controls
• Physical inventory
• Inventory security
• Quality control

Among its many new features, the Module includes the Chemical Information Gateway-populated with detailed physical, regulatory, and hazard data.

• Physical data
• NFPA data and forms to include HMIS data
• Target organs and other health hazards
• Risk and safety information for European compliance
• US regulatory data and values for state and local requirements
• Over 100,000 synonyms
• Links to ChemWatch for Material Safety Data Sheets, emergency response and other critical chemical data
• Links to other MSDS resources
• Internal MSDS database for customer-provided data sheets

In addition, the module includes the data required to manage chemicals in accordance with International Building Code (previously BOCA) guidelines.

The IM allows you to define the level of detail for your records and the options that you enable. Based on your site objectives, you may choose to use any or all of the following:

• Consumption records
• Refillable containers
• 21CFR compliance
• Shelf life
• Linked records (a quick way of splitting containers)
• Recipes
• Alerts

The Module is delivered with a master catalog that contains the Sigma-Aldrich, Mallinckrodt-Baker, and Lancaster chemicals with product number and container size. This catalog lets you prepare a new inventory record by entering the product number shown on the chemical container. You do not need to enter the product name or container size. For minimum inventory records, you add the location and responsible person or group, and save your inventory record. Other vendor product lists are provided as available.

The security options of the IM allow tight control of inventory items. You define who has access to chemical records. For example, you can limit access to a specific users (only users in Chemistry may see Chemistry's records), or limit access to desingated chemicals (only named individuals may see select agents, for example) . The IM tracks radioactive materials, supports batch processing, tracks refills, monitors consumption, and stores billing information. It includes all the features of the Vertere's ChIM 5.6.1 with new usability and improved processing.

Link your new Chemical Module to ChemWatch, the world's largest database of independently researched MSDSs and chemical safety information. The database consists of over 100,000 products and includes more than 40,000 pure substances.
