Starts from the formula.
A qualified author records the hazard determination with the evidence behind it.
Draft, approve, issue.
Each SDS moves through draft, approved and issued; saving a draft never approves it.
Supplier revisions handled.
When a supplier revises a raw-material SDS, your author records the evidence for a revised draft.
Follow one SDS revision
A supplier revises the SDS for Surfactant S-12, used in CL-40. Five stages, from issued rev 2 to an issued rev 3.
A supplier revises its SDS. Your author records what follows.
Try it: read the supplier changes, then start a revised CL-40 draft.
How supplier documents are held depends on your set-up. Your SDS author and reviewer decide; V5 records each step.
