ProductVision Regulatory Compliance
ProductVision's Regulatory Compliance (RC) Module
integrates seamlessly with the ProductVision Formula Management (FM) Module to greatly
simplify compliance with hazardous communication regulations. The RC Module automatically
generates raw material driven Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and product labels,
which meet or exceed reporting regulations worldwide. It also tracks customer MSDS
mailings, and produces SARA Tier I/II and Section 313 reports necessary for U.S.
customers. ProductVision RC is a Windows-based, client/server application - scalable for
use by the single user or by thousands of users.
Unlimited Document
Flexibility and User Control
ProductVision RC
allows you to create multi-language and multi-format MSDSs and labels. For example, you
may specify creation of a U.S. ANSI (16 section) MSDS in English, a Canadian WHMIS format
in French, and a Swiss ANSI format in German all for the same product. Or you may want to
create customer specific formats, such as those required by the automobile industry. Each
format may have its own structure and sets of statement text. ProductVision's visual MSDS
and label creation routines make compliance with differing regulations and customer
requirements almost effortless.
And to further extend the flexibility of the
system, all hazard text and product properties are user-definable. That is, you may add
new input (or calculated) fields for printing on the MSDS or label in seconds. The New
Jersey and Pennsylvania "right-to-know" laws, California Proposition 65,
Canadian DSL reporting, and air pollution reporting (VOCs and photochemical reactivity)
are just some examples of the type of information that RC can report. The final MSDS is
produced using an HTML document template, which you may customize as necessary.
Customizable MSDS and Label Presentation
You may
customize the standard MSDS/label templates provided with RC. Using a
standard HTML editor you have complete word processing capabilities, including the
capability to incorporate graphic images like a corporate logo or product photo. Shading,
boxes or other elements are easily added to highlight important information. The resulting
documents are both functional and attractive to present the right image for your company.
Developed
Exclusively for Process Manufacturers
ProductVision's
Regulatory Compliance Module was designed specifically for the special needs of
formula-based process manufacturers. MSDSs are automatically created based upon raw
material and formula properties. Whenever a formula is revised, ProductVision flags the
associated MSDS for regeneration and determines whether a new MSDS revision is required.
Any differences between MSDS revisions are reported to the user. All MSDS revisions are
immediately logged. RC also easily handles creation of MSDSs for
products, which undergo chemical reactions and/or have co-products or by-products.
SARA Reporting Capabilities
RC simplifies regulatory reporting
by generating worksheets for use in completing SARA Tier I/II Forms. RC
also provides a SARA Section 313 Chemical List Report and a Chemical Where-Used Report.
Flexible Data Output Options
RC supplies several options for
outputting regulatory information. MSDSs, labels, and reports may be sent to a printer or
fax, viewed on-screen, or converted to an ASCII file, or you may choose to save your MSDS
as an HTML "web-page" for distribution on your web site.
Client/Server Functionality
ProductVision is a client/server
application. That is, the application (RC) runs on the user workstation
(client), accessing data stored on a remote "server" computer. The client/server
approach allows the user to scale the application from a single-user system to one
providing access to thousands of users. Depending upon the server chosen, you can provide
enterprise access and visibility for the information in ProductVision RC.
ProductVision's client/server operating platform provides a robust security
environment. Within ProductVision, a combination of password protection and multi-level
user access rights ensure complete control over access to regulatory compliance functions.
Multiple Language Support
RC supports multiple language
translation. Multiple languages may be assigned to each individual user. In addition,
MSDSs and labels generated by ProductVision may be printed in any character-based language
you require.
Tracks MSDS Mailing History
RC maintains a history of
MSDS mailings to track compliance with hazardous communication regulations. These mailing
histories may be sorted by product or by customer for reference purposes.
Database/Environment Support
You may run ProductVision using either the Microsoft Windows 98 (or
greater) or Windows NT (4.00 or above) operating systems.
The databases supported include Oracle (7.00 or above), Sybase SQL
Anywhere, Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Extensive help and on-line documentation are provided throughout ProductVision
RC for timely, one-touch assistance.
