Free audit of your SDS card
Send us the safety data sheet you ship with today. We read it against REACH Annex II and CLP, and answer the question that decides whether your pallet moves or waits: will this document survive an inspection?
Why a sheet that looks fine still fails
A rejected safety data sheet is rarely empty. It is usually complete, well formatted and simply out of date — written against a regulation that has since been amended. Classification in the EU moves with every ATP to CLP; a card issued before the amendment keeps stating a classification that no longer matches the register. The document reads as professional. The inspector reads it as wrong.
The second common cause is narrower and more expensive: section 14. Transport information is the part a customs officer and a carrier actually compare against the shipping papers. A missing packing group or an absent UN number stops the consignment even when the other fifteen sections are flawless.
What the audit covers
Nine checks, grouped into six areas. Each check comes back as PASS, FAIL or NOT VERIFIABLE, and a FAIL names the article it fails against. The three states are counted separately and never added together. A report reads three of nine failed, two could not be verified, four passed — never a percentage, and never a mark out of a hundred.
Structure
All sixteen sections present, in the order REACH Annex II prescribes, with the required subsections. Missing subsections are named individually, not counted.
Classification
Section 2 checked against CLP Annex VI. Where the substance carries a harmonised entry, the harmonised classification is binding — we report every divergence in both directions, under- and over-classification.
Identity
CAS and EC numbers verified, including the CAS check digit. Index number cross-read against the register entry. Mismatched identifiers are the quietest defect in the whole document.
Transport
Section 14 against ADR, IMDG and IATA: UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, environmental hazard. This is the section that stops shipments.
Currency
Revision date against the ATP in force. A card older than the amendment that changed your substance is reported as expired, with the ATP number that overtook it.
Language and issuer
Whether the language matches what the destination authority accepts, and whether the supplier block carries an identifiable EU contact. Both are refusal grounds on their own.
The nine checks, by name
- Format — the sixteen sections and their mandatory subsections, in the order REACH Annex II prescribes. Missing subsections are named individually, not counted.
- Language — whether the sheet is written in a language the destination Member State accepts. This is a refusal ground on its own.
- Classification against the harmonised entry — where CLP Annex VI carries an entry for the substance, that entry governs at Union level, and classifying around it is a defect. Divergence is reported in both directions, under- and over-classification.
- Supplemental statements — the EUH statements the classification requires, present and worded as the regulation words them.
- Pictogram and signal-word consistency — the hazard statements on your own sheet against the pictograms and the signal word on your own sheet. This check needs no register at all: a document that contradicts itself is defective whatever turns out to be true about the substance.
- Exposure limits with a stated legal basis — section 8 values traceable to the instrument that sets them, rather than to an unattributed table.
- Personal protective equipment specificity — whether section 8 names materials and specifications, or only says “suitable gloves”.
- Transport entry — section 14 against ADR, IMDG and IATA, and against your own section 2. A sheet that classifies a substance as flammable while section 14 says “not subject” contradicts itself, and a carrier will find it.
- Section 15 content, and the UFI where a mixture requires one — a section 15 citing law from outside the European Union is a marker on its own, and it hides exactly what a European buyer needs before purchase.
The numbering is fixed. Where another page here refers to “check three” or “check eight”, it means the check carrying that number in this list.
What you get back
A written report, in plain sentences, that a non-chemist in your logistics team can act on. It contains:
- A verdict on each of the nine checks — PASS, FAIL or NOT VERIFIABLE, with the source on every line. Nine lines, no score hiding the detail. Where the format check fails, the missing sections and subsections are named one by one rather than totalled.
- The exact wording that is wrong, quoted from your document, with what it should say instead.
- A customs risk statement — whether we would expect this card to be accepted at the border you named, and on what grounds it could be refused.
- What we could not determine, stated openly. Where public sources disagree about a substance, we say they disagree rather than picking the convenient one.
We do not return a corrected sheet as part of the free audit. The audit tells you what is broken; repairing it is the paid service, and you are free to repair it yourself or with anyone else.
How to send it
Upload the sheet below. No account, no card, no sales call — one free audit per company. The report comes back to the address you give within 14 calendar days of our receiving the required documents.
Who reads it, and when the answer arrives
A person reads your document, and the report comes back by e-mail. There is no verdict on this page while you wait, and there is no number that appears the moment you press the button. The nine checks are a fixed list precisely so that the answer does not depend on who happens to open the file, and so that you can hold us to the same nine next time.
Not every check can be answered from every document, and we say which. Pictograms are pictures; a sheet that carries them only as images gives us nothing to read, and that check comes back NOT VERIFIABLE rather than PASS. NOT VERIFIABLE is never counted as a pass — the report gives you the number of checks answered and the number that could not be, as two separate figures.
What we can and cannot read
The audit compares the text of your document against regulatory sources field by field, so the text has to exist inside the file. We can read a PDF with a text layer, and DOC, DOCX and TXT. A list of CAS numbers goes in a spreadsheet instead: XLSX, XLS, CSV or TXT.
We cannot read a JPG, PNG, BMP or TIFF, a photograph of a printed sheet, or a PDF that is only a scanned image. We do not run OCR, so a picture of a document holds nothing for the audit to compare. If a scan is all you hold, ask whoever issued the sheet for the original file — they have it, and sending it takes them a minute.
If you would rather use e-mail
Attach the document to a message addressed to pure@molgod.org and add three lines: the CAS number, the destination country and the mode of transport. Without them the transport verdict is guesswork, and we will not guess. One substance per message keeps the reply readable, and the same format rule applies.
If the audit finds problems
Two ways to fix it
A working draft for €49.99 gives you a usable, referenced sheet immediately — the right document while the paperwork is still moving. A signed card for €249.99 is issued within 72 hours of complete input and carries a signature, for the moment somebody official asks who stands behind the document.
Limits worth stating in advance
The audit reads the document you send. It does not test your substance, does not visit your plant, and cannot confirm that the material in the drum matches the sheet on the drum. Where a hazard depends on a property nobody has published, no document can close that gap and we will say so rather than fill it.
Free audits are handled in the order they arrive. The free audit covers one card per company. Large catalogues are welcome — send the one you are least sure of, and if the finding turns out to be built into your template, the priced tiers read the rest of the set.
It is not a score. You will never be told that your card is a number out of a hundred, or a percentage ready. You will be told which of the nine checks failed, which could not be verified, and what each failure fails against. A number would look tidier on a slide and be worth less on a desk.
It is not a certification, and it does not bind anyone. No result from us obliges an inspector, a customs officer or your customer to accept the sheet. The audit tells you what a reader found comparing your document with the registers, which is a smaller act than certification and a more useful one than reassurance.
Questions people ask before they order
What does the audit actually check?
Nine checks against the register, each returning PASS, FAIL or NOT VERIFIABLE, and each failure naming the article it fails against. The nine are format, language, classification against the harmonised entry, supplemental statements, pictogram and signal-word consistency, exposure limits, personal protective equipment, the transport entry, and section 15 with the UFI where a mixture requires one. A person reads the document and the report comes back by e-mail within 14 calendar days of our receiving the required documents. One free audit per company, covering a single SDS card.
Why is it free? What is the catch?
There is no account, no card and no sales call. The audit is free because the finding is what persuades people, and because a company whose documentation turns out to be sound is not a customer we were going to win by argument.
Can you audit a scanned document or a photograph?
No. The audit compares text against regulatory sources, so the text has to exist in the file. We do not run character recognition on scans — a photograph of a document holds nothing to compare. Send an editable Word or PDF file.
How many sheets can I send, and how often?
One. The free audit covers a single SDS card, one audit per company, and the report reaches you within 14 calendar days of our receiving the required documents. Larger sets are priced: up to ten for €490 in three working days, up to twenty-five for €990 in five, up to fifty for €1,900 in ten. The full audit fee is credited against any documentation order placed within sixty days.
Who sees the sheets I send?
They are read to produce your report and are not published, resold or used as examples anywhere on this site. The sample documents shown here are our own records, not customer files.
