How Dangerous Goods Handling works in IFS

Hello, we have similar questions as well.   Were you able to find out the answers to your questions?   

We currently utilize Ul/WERCS for our Safety Data Sheet Creation, and we have 75-125 fields of data we need to load into IFS that do not fit standard fields, so we are looking at a CRIM for this.   

@ProThushA, were you able to figure out your original question?  

Hi,

this is a big subject and as far as I am aware of, there’s no solution in IFS for example for handling MSDS’s.

While working at a customer we had a third party web portal for archiving/producing up-to-date MSDS’s across all required languages, ChemWatch I think was the company, but there are of course others. There must’ve also been an interface between IFS and their portal as well to ensure coverage for all parts in IFS with defined Dangerous Goods Classification data.

So IFS would house the Dangerous Goods Classification data per part like Packaging Groups, proper Shipping Names, Tunnel Codes etc. so that the Fire Department list of inventory part in stock records covering DG items could be printed easily.

The way we would then use the defined DG Classification data for operations would be through document texts connected to parts and used with certain documents, like Shipment Delivery Notes etc.

The actual MSDS’s compliant with local legislation and with fully detailed information about PPE requirements, hazards and precautions when working with each substance would be available only through ChemWatch’s portal.

Hello All,

I wonder if there is someone who has come across similar problem to ours. 

We are chemical goods manufacturers and rely on the Dangerous Goods Classification for our shipping documentation that is stored within Master Part function. We do, however, find it difficult to find a way of handling changes to the products, that are affecting the classification itself.

Example:

Our product is going through a formulation change, and as a result it will change its classification. We control the change within the product using the revision in Inventory Part. This, however, does not seem to find any link to the Dangerous Goods Classification part within the Part function.

Would anyone here be able to advise how we can change the classification according to the revision within Inventory Part, so that our Shipment documentation is correct according to the lot/batch no despatched?

Appreciate any suggestions. We have a couple of products we are intending to work on, and I believe these changes may trigger the DGN Class change…

Thank you in advance.
