The CHEMDOX phrase catalogue contains all of the text blocks and their translations that you need for your documents (safety data sheets (SDS), operating instructions, etc.).

• Headings
• Product information
• Company information
• Hazards
• Safety advice
• Classification/ labelling
• Use (intended use)
• Form, colour, smell
• Species (organisms)
• Disposal (lists of wastes)
• Transport (dangerous goods)

CHEMDOX uses correct technical terms which were taken directly from the legal texts. This also applies to all translations. The CHEMDOX phrase catalogue comes in many languages.
Phrases that contain variable (substance) data from the database are also included, using placeholders such as: "store at temperatures not exceeding {$MAX_STORE_TEMP}".
The phrases are stored in the catalogue in such a way that they can be used as a heading, sentence, "proclamation", or in a bulleted list.

e.g.

1. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
2. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product!
3. DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT
4. as part of a flowing bulleted list:
   • keep away from clothing and other combustible materials / do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product / keep away from heat. No smoking
5. as part of a bulleted list (with individually set bullets)
   • do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product
   • keep away from clothing and other combustible materials
   • keep away from heat. No smoking

The phrase catalogue can be extended with your own wording and text blocks.

As the person responsible, you can create safety data sheets (SDSs) for your products easily in your native language.

By changing the basic settings, your safety data sheets (SDSs) are then converted with a few easy steps to other languages or countries with the relevant national regulations. Safety data sheets (SDSs) are automatically versioned by CHEMDOX.
