Safety data sheets for products imported from different countries

As the product range grows, companies may find it challenging to author and update product safety documents. For example, keeping safety data sheets updated requires special expertise and resources from companies, which take time away from running the business itself.Kirjovärit acquires high-quality and unique products from local operators in different countries, which may however bring challenges for example to the translation of safety data sheets for the destination market.

"We find great quality products from different countries’ local operators, but it often means that the products' safety data sheets are not correct ones for local markets"

Kirjovärit as a responsible supplier

Kirjovärit is a supplier that invests in chemical safety.
The cooperation has continued for several years. Chementors will keep Kirjovärit Oy up to date on the legal obligations in the future as well, because the legislation is constantly changing, and documents have to be updated from time to time.

"Chementors has helped Kirjovärit Oy Finland many times in authoring and translating safety data sheets. Chementors also provides guidance in the texts of warning areas on labels, and makes chemical notifications required by the authorities on behalf of us"
