What the converter does with a safety data sheet

It reads the sheet you already have

A safety data sheet (SDS) is the supplier’s own document, laid out in sixteen numbered sections under the CLP and REACH regulations. Most suppliers publish it as a PDF. The converter reads the text of that PDF in your browser, finds the section headings, and picks out the values people look up most: product name, supplier, emergency number, revision date, signal word, classification, hazard and precautionary statements, and the ingredient table in Section 3.

Nothing is added. Where the sheet does not print something, or prints it in a way the tool does not recognise, the result says so instead of filling the gap.

What the Excel workbook contains

Summary: one row per item, with the page it was read from.
Hazards: every hazard, supplemental and precautionary statement with its code and wording.
Ingredients: name, any qualification printed with it, CAS number, EC number, REACH registration, concentration with its unit, and classification, plus the row text exactly as printed.
Sections: every line of all sixteen sections, labelled by section and page, so you can search and filter the whole sheet.

Use it to build a substance register, prepare a COSHH assessment, or compare sheets from different suppliers.

Where it falls short

Pages without a text layer, such as scanned pages, cannot be read. The tool names those pages.
Pictograms are images. The tool reports their GHS codes only when the sheet prints them as text.
Unusual layouts can leave a value unrecognised, a table partly read or a two-column page in an uncertain order. The result says so, and the full section text and the page view are there so nothing depends on the summary alone.
Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened.

Your file and your judgement

Your safety data sheet is read in your browser. It is not uploaded, and ComplyOnSite does not receive a copy. Close the page and it is gone.

The converter does not decide whether a product is safe to use, whether the sheet is the current one, or whether your workplace controls are adequate. Those remain the judgement of the person doing the work and the assessor.

Questions people ask

Is the summary a substitute for reading the sheet?: No. It is a quicker way to find and check what the supplier wrote. Every value shows the page it came from, and the whole text of each section is on this page, so you can read the original wording before you rely on it.
Why does something say “Not found”?: The tool looks for the usual wording and layout. When a sheet labels a field differently, prints it as an image, or splits a table in an unusual way, the value is shown as not found rather than guessed. Read the section text below it or open the source page.
Can it read a scanned or photographed sheet?: Only if the PDF already contains a text layer. Pages that have none, or whose text layer is garbled, are named in the result, and nothing from them appears in it. Ask the supplier for the original PDF.
Does it check whether the sheet is correct or up to date?: No. It shows what this sheet says, including its own revision date. Whether that is the current sheet for the product you hold, and what it means for your work, remains your judgement.
Can I convert several sheets at once?: One sheet at a time. Choose another file when you have finished with the first, and download each workbook as you go.
