New Features

Sharing moves from the portal to the QR code

The safety portal had one public switch and one IP whitelist covering everything it served at once. Sharing is now decided per code, and QR Access is open to every team.

A QR code covers one folder, one workplace, or every workplace, and carries its own whitelist and display settings. A folder is stored as the folder, so a workplace you add under it tomorrow sits behind the poster you printed today. A code can also be pinned to product labels, so "all cleaning products" is one code across every workplace it covers.

The organisation code your team started with keeps its name and scope locked, because printed signage already points at it. Its display toggles stay yours to change.

Editing a template is a screen of its own

A card's layout used to be set inside the card: you chose the colours, page size and sections while making a card for one product, then saved the result as a template. Those are two different jobs, and they are now two screens.

Settings > SIC Templates lists every template a card can be built from, the ones NextSDS ships included. Opening one opens a builder of its own, with sections, layout, branding and page settings beside a live preview filled with sample values. Nothing you change there touches a card that already exists. Switch a template off and it stops being offered; duplicate one to start your own from it.

Making a card is then two steps, Choose template and Complete and approve. The card takes its colours, size and language from the template, so the wizard asks about content and nothing else. Sections and the finished card sit side by side, picking the sheet is a step only when the product has more than one, and a card you saved reopens from the product's Safety cards tab with everything it was saved with.

CLP labels are one screen, sized off CLP's own tables

The label form and the label it produces are now in one step, so every change shows as you make it. Text size sets the body text and the pictograms together, from the four container capacities Annex I names, and choosing a label size picks the matching band for you.

Values from the sheet print as the sheet states them or not at all. Only the product name stays editable, because a supplier's catalogue name is rarely what people on the floor call the substance, and a container you filled on site still has to carry a name they recognise.

Risk Evaluation, a framework for chemical risk work

Risk Evaluation gathers the whole risk picture in one place. Its Products tab ranks every product by potential risk, weighing the hazard class against how much you use in a year compared with the rest of your library. The ranking follows the INRS SEIRICH method, and each row reads High, Medium or Low. A product with no yearly quantity reads Not prioritizable, so you can see how much of your library the ranking speaks for.

Manage quantities is where that yearly figure is typed, one line per product, in a table that filters and pages like the one showing the result.

Your risk assessments live in the Assessments tab, where RECESS and EMKG now sit side by side, each with its own skip. RECESS grades the risk; EMKG returns the control level. A batch can produce both in one sitting, and EMKG asks the same questions as the per-product wizard, so the two cannot disagree.

Seveso III, reported in the regulation's own words

The Seveso III framework reports your establishment against Annex I. Thresholds apply notes 4 and 21 in full: each of the three summations takes only the Part 2 substances whose classification belongs in it, and where a named substance also falls under P5a or P5b flammable liquids, the lowest qualifying quantity governs.

The vocabulary is the regulation's own. q/Q is one substance's quotient, Σ q/Q the note 4 sum, the tier reads Lower-tier (17.2.1) and Upper-tier (17.2.2), and entries weighed outside a sum are marked Assessed individually.

Two drill-downs answer different questions. Per werkpost gives the quantity split per location that Art. 7 notification and the external emergency plan need, with the tonnage held there rather than a total repeated at every site. The permitted-state view runs the other way, from hazard group to Annex I category to products.

Safety cards work on every plan

The Chemical Safety Card used to open the upgrade dialog for a team on trial. It reads a sheet you already hold and already paid to have processed, so it now works on every plan, as the SDS Summary always did.

Improvements

Reports

• A line table adds up: opening a Seveso category or a VLAREM rubriek showed its lines but never their sum, so nothing on screen proved the tonnage on the row above was the total of what sat under it. Every line table now carries one, in the unit its own rows use, and shows no total at all where the raw units cannot be added.
• The supplier under the product name: the Products tab named a product and nothing about where it comes from. It now names the supplier the same way the library does.

Library

• Filters reach every value: a facet picker used to load the fifty most common values and search only those, so on a wide column the rest could be reached only by typing one exactly. The search box now looks through all of them.
• The export writes what you see: columns whose value is worked out for display used to export blank, among them hazard level, the EMKG groups, labels, P-codes, state, product type and every custom field. They now export what the screen shows, and a column holding several values exports all of them.
• Three lifecycle dates as columns: arrived, no longer used and removed can be switched on under Columns.
