Formpak can help by offering excellent Regulatory Affairs and Document Management Software for the Chemicals Industry. We also have great Product Library and Retrieval tools which enable you to find the right product quickly.

Regulatory Affairs

Formpak is a powerful partner in helping manage the requirements of Legislation.

Chemical safety and technical information can be provided in many different formats, from different versions of MSDS, to complex industry or customer specific views. Product safety labels can be produced which reflect the latest information available.

Formpak can also be used to determine regulatory and technical compliance for a vast number of different and customisable parameters. These include suitability for application, country, industry, customer and combinations of them.

Formpak has the ability to cope with complex ingredients, for example mixed isomers or multi component ingredients. Therefore complete information is accessible and can be managed for all ingredients and any of the components.

Formpak gives you a 360 degree view on your ingredients and formulations, the safety & technical information that relates to them, and how the information has been used to communicate to others.

Documents such as MSDS, and Status Declarations can be tracked and automatically updated, flagging which customers or stake holders should be sent updated information.

By combining the power of Suitability Management and Document Management you can completely manage the information coming into and out of the regulatory department.

  • Full traceability
  • Flexibility to customise
  • Confidence on Ingredient and Formulation status
  • Transparency on information received and supplied
  • Control on future information supply

Document management features highlight when any documents are outdated and need to be re-supplied; who needs them and can even send documents automatically.

Formulation Development

Formulation Development can be streamlined using Formpak, and you have transparency on the product development process.

Users can see instantly what work they have in progress and what stage it is at using Development Job Management.

There are a wide variety of Developer friendly features. These include the ability to view multiple formulations side by side and even view different versions of the same formulation. Access to information about odour, stability, availability and safety is at the your finger tips.

During formulation development you can quickly assess the legislative & technical status of the formulation. This can determine if the formulation meets the regulatory requirements for the customer, country, application & dosage. This can also include product labelling and customer restrictions.

Any Regulatory or Technical requirements can be managed using Suitability Management, and accessed during the development process, eliminating delays introduced by manual regulatory checking procedures.
