Expert SDS Authoring Services by Deerfoot Consulting
Deerfoot Consulting has authored thousands of SDSs and Chemical Supplier Labels for a variety of clients globally and internationally since its incorporation in the year 2000. We are based in Calgary and as a result, have significant experience in SDS authoring for Oil and Gas. Since 2013, Deerfoot has written Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets.
We are well trained and experienced in the required elements and structure of SDS Authoring. If you need bilingual (English/French) or multilingual Safety Data Sheets or require SDSs for cross-border trade to satisfy numerous jurisdictions (Canada/USA), Deerfoot can help to ensure you have an SDS and GHS Compliant label for your product.
Professional SDS Authoring Over Software
Have you chosen the lowest-priced laboratory or used a software-driven SDS Authoring program only to have your shipments questioned, fined, or goods seized due to a poorly written Safety Data Sheet? Deerfoot helps companies out in a pinch when short-sighted investment in SDS creation lands them in hot water with inspectors and stops the transportation of goods or incurs fines.
Deerfoot SDSs: Industry-Leading SDS Authoring
Our certified and experienced SDS authoring professionals can take your lab analysis, reclassify chemicals, and author an SDS to GHS standards that satisfy Canadian and American regulations. Our Safety Data Sheets have a best in class reputation, and our documents are routinely recognized by regulators and inspectors as high quality and reliable. Don’t rely on low-cost providers or automated authoring programs to properly classify and write your safety data sheets and chemical labels.
Benefits of Using Our SDS Authoring Service

Easily Transition to SDSs and GHS Labels
June 1, 2018 was the WHMIS 2015 deadline for Canadian Manufacturers & Suppliers to transition to SDS. If you require an update from MSDSs to SDSs, Deerfoot can help you through the transition to GHS. In February 2015, Health Canada amended WHMIS legislation to include the international GHS standards. Manufacturers and suppliers now must take steps in reclassifying products, relabeling, and creating new Safety Data replace old ones.

Improve Regulatory Compliance with Global Trade Complexities
Harmonizing classifications, SDSs and GHS labels is an improvement for global trade but SDSs still need to be authored by country. Classification changes for a product can affect Section 14 of the Safety Data Sheet on Transportation. In Canada, many Oil and Gas companies have seen Transport Canada enforce this for the past several years. A properly classified and authored SDS is critical to avoid potential fines.
-
Meet the Needs of the Country the Product is Sold or Imported to
A hazardous product for sale in Canada must have an SDS and supplier label available in the official languages of French and English. An English-only SDS arriving from the USA may be challenged on language grounds, in some workplaces if a portion of the population of the workforce communicates in French as a first language. Deerfoot Consulting can prepare SDSs with classification to Canadian and US legislation. Development of European formatted SDSs have different cut-off points for hazardous products depending on the type and degree of hazard.
-
Quick Turnaround to Meet 90-Day Requirements
If new data becomes available, Canadian producers have 90 days to make this knowledge public for a hazardous product sold or imported into Canada, by a written notice along with an SDS document. Supplier Labels need to be updated within 180 days. If classifications, toxicity information, or exposure limits for a product changes, a new SDS might be required.
