ChemGes - Environmental and Safety Management Software
The time and work involved by experts for the classification of preparations, calculation of transport classifications and the creation of Safety Data Sheets, Internal Plant Instructions and labels, is constantly increasing by frequently amended and supplemented legislation (for example GHS) and the necessity to provide translated documents in numerous languages. The ChemGes software contributes to an essential relief of the responsible specialists in industry and trade and so helps to achieve significant savings in cost and time for the compliance with mandatory requirements in national and international legislation.
Description
ChemGes enables the automatic creation of Safety Data Sheets in 39 languages. New documents can be created quickly; the translation into other languages is done within seconds. The multilingual user guidance, network capability and a wide selection of languages available for Safety Data Sheets, Internal Plant Instructions and labels in combination with the highest possible program flexibility, enable the international use of the software.
Maintenance contracts guarantee unlimited hotline support via telephone and email for the users of our software, and ensure the frequent availability of program and data updates. The main updates that are provided at least twice a year, include an extensive description of all changes and supplementations in the program and comprehensive information on national and international legal amendments, thus becoming a valuable reference for experts. Generally, our expert team implements legal changes and amended data into the software within the shortest possible time.
ChemGes Offers you
- The automatic creation of Safety Data Sheets in 39 languages.
- A raw materials database, on which your formulations are based, enabling the fast and simple creation of Safety Data Sheets.
- The complete entry of a new formulation into the database, as well as the subsequent creation, compliance check and output of the finished Safety Data Sheet, only takes a few minutes.
- The creation of a Safety Data Sheet for a product that has already been entered into the database, or for a raw material only takes a few seconds.
- Extremely high scalability and flexibility down to the last detail for all industries and any possible situation. You can change the layout and additional information in the created Safety Data Sheets and labels according to your requirements. Furthermore, user specific program adjustments of ChemGes and customized applications (for example interfaces) can be designed for you, anytime.
- Our experienced in-house software engineers can quickly implement user-specific program adjustments of ChemGes and customized applications (for example interfaces) for you.
- Company and product specific phrases can be integrated easily and quickly thanks to the special rule-based form generator. Thus, the level of automation for the creation of SDSs can be increased to reach full-automation for creation and update by using a simple key stroke.
- The network capability enables standardized data management on an international level. This possibility is successfully used by many multinational companies.
- The software and manuals, as well as support, are available in English, German, Italian and French.
- The interface linking can be done via ANSI text files and enables the data exchange with all appropriate platforms. Numerous data export routines are available. Data imports are always built customer specifically and individually adapted to the leading system.
- Our expert team guarantees our customers professional hotline support for all questions on our software, as well as on legislation covered by ChemGes and will also assist you with technical questions.
- ChemGes is designed for all Microsoft® Windows® versions and runs under both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the operating system.
We provide our customers with offices and representatives in Canada, the USA, Austria, Germany, France, and Italy, thus ensuring close contact and direct support when necessary.
MSDS+ is an extraordinary add-in program, which - in combination with ChemGes - enables you to store up to 1000 different Safety Data Sheets of raw materials and mixtures in one single archive file.
This way you can simply forward your Safety Data Sheets as an 'electronic catalog' to your customers and business partners. As the recipients of the file can change the trade name of the product or the manufacturer’s address and company symbol themselves (if you permit them) and print the required SDSs, significant savings in cost and time can be achieved.
The presentation of our software, online via WebEx® or at the customer’s site, is free-of-charge with no further obligations or costs attached.

We want to emphasize the following facts:
- The CAS number registry contains more than 130,000,000 substances with CAS numbers.
- The provided raw materials in our database can only be a small subset of the contents of the CAS number registry and contain the most common chemicals. Usually customers have to add their own chemicals. The percentage of chemicals in our database, which a company might use, varies depending on the type of industry. Please view the list of chemicals in our database to check for completeness here.
- As ECHA expressly prohibits the transfer of substance specific data to other software, we can unfortunately not provide this information.
- Ecotoxicological data is hardly available. We do, of course, seek to implement as much data as possible into our databases.
- The substance names cannot be made available in all languages, as the necessary translations (for example Thai and Hindi) are not at our disposal. In this case the English substance names are used, which is usually accepted by the national authorities without objection.
- Our database does not contain any mixtures, also not basic mixtures, which might be sold as raw materials.
- Customers have to add missing raw materials by themselves. DR-Software we do not provide such a service.
- Copyrighted material (e.g. TLVs from ACGIH) has to be purchased separately.

Poison Centre Notification PCN
ChemGes provides an End-to-End Solution, automating everything from the UFI to the PCN notification
DR-Software’s powerful solution to the CLP Annex VIII requirements for Poison Center Notifications, is as always, automatic and simple, ensuring full compliance with little effort.
With the implementation of CLP Article 45 and its PCN requirements, companies are facing increased information requirements. The first deadline has already passed on January 1st, 2021.
“What matters to our customers now, is ease and efficiency. As always, we have distilled the compliance requirements down to a few simple steps, ChemGes does all the work.”
Christopher Radlinger, Senior Executive Programming (2020)
Every possible aspect of the PCN notification is fully integrated into ChemGes, allowing for efficient dossier generation. No need to purchase a separate module or pay extra fees. All users with a valid maintenance contract have access to these features. The full integration of this module allows the user to access all data and functionalities to assist in the new notification requirements.
- The UFI generator is built into ChemGes, thus providing optimal speeds.
- All possible combinations of data are covered. These include but are not limited to, multiple manufacturers, mixes of multiple manufacturers for the same preparation, substance variants.
- ICGs (Interchangeable component groups) and SFs (Standard formulas) can be easily managed and notified.
- MiMs (with or without UFI) are easily maintained as intermediate preparations and PDFs to send with your dossier can be saved with a substance
- Variants, phrases and addresses, that have always been standard features are part of the dossier data
- ChemGes identifies all manner of changes automatically, removing the need for manual involvement.
- EuPCSs, packaging, market placement and even colour, can be automatically allocated to dossiers, and ChemGes will output the ECHA required terminology
- ChemGes provides for the fully automatic upload of single and bulk notifications, directly to the PCN portal. Of course, manual notification is also available, if desired.
Data between ChemGes and ECHA, is easily managed with options such as the:
- Import or Export of the ECHA legal entity
- Import and the test of the S2S key
- Direct links to ECHA webpages, portals and documents.
The effort necessary to create a dossier is negligible, once the minor task of allocations and import of any ECHA provided data, is completed.
As always, our support team is ready to provide assistance in using this aspect of ChemGes.
