Gunvor International Signs Up To ESS eSDS Solution
Electronic Shipping Solutions (ESS) has announced that Gunvor International has signed up to use its electronic Safety Data Sheet (eSDS) Services, to comply with global and regional legislation which require the production and distribution of Safety Data Sheets, and save significant time and money. Alex Goulandris, CEO of ESS: “We are delighted to welcome Gunvor International as the 25th customer of our eSDS Services.
He continues: “eSDS has already been shown to provide real value to users such as Gunvor who need to be compliant with current regulation but also wish to increase their efficiency in document management processes.” SDS compliance obligations require cargo owners to manage, send, track and store multi-lingual safety data sheets when hazardous cargoes are transported. Gunvor International will use the service to comply with the requirements of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) regulations. Global compliance is also provided to requirements of the Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
Simple & Efficient
ESS eSDS services enable simple and efficient production and transmission of SDSs as well as providing additional functionality to users. An eSDS can be automatically re-sent should a safety data sheet change and in addition, eSDSs are stored for 10 years with a full audit trail of all recipients and readers. Users can build their own proprietary library of eSDS material or take advantage of a shared library maintained by testing industry leader SGS.
eSDS documents are generated and managed safely and securely online, via the ESS Databridge- eDocs Exchange. The ESS Databridge-eDocs Exchange combines a legal framework to access the exchange and IT platform to enable users to transact eDocs legally.
