The 3E Generate SDS authoring software solution
Authoring and maintaining Safety Data Sheets has become increasingly complex. Global regulatory divergence, frequent updates to hazard classification criteria, and expanding product portfolios make manual SDS processes difficult to sustain.
Many organizations rely on disconnected systems, spreadsheets, or static document templates to manage SDS. This often leads to inconsistent data, delayed updates, and limited visibility into whether SDS remain compliant with current regional requirements.
3E Generate provides a centralized, scalable approach to SDS authoring. By using 3E Generate, organizations can reduce compliance risk, speed up product launches, limit audit exposure, and reduce the operational strain on regulatory and product stewardship teams.

Case Study - Veolia Water Solutions
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies transformed its global SDS authoring with 3E Generate, replacing a limited regional system with a powerful, multilingual, regulation‑driven platform. By streamlining SDS creation across 40 countries and improving data quality, Veolia gained efficiency, consistency, and confidence in meeting global compliance demands.
Why SDS authoring is increasingly complex
SDS authoring is no longer a static documentation task. It is an ongoing compliance function shaped by frequent regulatory change, regional variation in hazard communication rules, and increased scrutiny from regulators, customers, and downstream partners.
Changes to regulations, classification logic, or formulation data can trigger updates across hundreds or thousands of SDS. Managing these updates manually increases the risk of outdated or inconsistent documents and makes it difficult to demonstrate compliance during audits.
SDS authoring software addresses this complexity by embedding regulatory rules directly into the authoring process. Instead of reacting to changes after the fact, organizations gain a structured, rules-based system that keeps SDS accurate, current, and defensible over time.
How does 3E Generate work?
3E Generate is a modern SDS authoring software solution that brings customization, governance, and automation to a traditionally manual process.
At a high level, 3E Generate SDS authoring software involves:
Rules: 3E maintains a continuously updated global regulatory database that is backed by 150+ regulatory experts. Our expert-built rules intelligence interprets GHS implementations by country or region, ingredient‑level regulatory lists, concentration thresholds, and much more.
Logic: 3E Generate uses a highly structured, expert‑designed logic engine to ensure that every SDS is generated consistently, accurately, and in alignment with global regulatory requirements allowing for highly automated SDS generation and multilingual support.
Phrases: 3E maintains a curated, multilingual library of compliant phrases available within 3E Generate SDS authoring software to ensure outputs are accurate, consistent, and aligned with regulations.
By replacing disconnected tools with a single system of record, organizations gain confidence that SDS remain consistent and compliant as products and regulations evolve.
