Ariel WebInsight 6.0

Ariel WebInsight 6.0, the latest version of the web-based chemical regulatory compliance reference software, includes new tools based on the globally harmonized system (GHS) of chemical classification and labeling, as well as physical, chemical, toxicity, and eco-toxicological content (PCTEC) data. It extends the existing GHS reference and labeling functionality of the application by adding a GHS mixture-classification module that classifies substances based on their health and environmental hazards. Users can enter physical hazards of the mixture for reference on the final classification report and can generate GHS labels with all necessary pictograms, hazard information, and precautionary statements. A new PCTEC data module that is accessible from the home and database tabs provides summary data on toxicity end points from the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) Hazardous Substance Databank (HSDB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ACQUIRE database. The PCTEC data are automatically pulled in at a substance level to facilitate GHS classification of the mixture.
