How Safety Data sheets ensure safe detector testing

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide vital information about potential health and safety hazards in-terms of materials/substances used across various industries. Whilst traditionally, SDSs have focused on hazardous chemicals, they can also be used to accompany equipment.

Here at Detectortesters, we have created SDSs for all relevant products. These are formatted to meet global regulations and feature the required information under 16 different sections.

These sections are:

IDENTIFICATION

Includes the product identifier used on the label, and contact details for the manufacturer.

OTHER INFORMATION

Includes SDS preparation date/last revision date, and any key changes.

SDSs are crucial tools for maintaining a safe workplace. They can be used in employee training, and the information can be used to design and implement effective safety measures, including PPE and accident-handling procedures. The correct use of SDSs can mean fewer accidents.

When it comes to our detector testing products, there are a number that contain chemicals. 

Testifire_TS3_Capsule.png

The Testifire TS3 smoke capsule is used for on-demand smoke simulation. This generates non-toxic smoke stimulus using a specially-formulated fluid. The Safety Data Sheet for this covers the chemical composition of the fluid used, first-aid measures, and how to dispose of the item when it runs out. 

Several Testifire products include a Lithium-Ion Battery. The SDS for this battery covers how to deal with any electrolyte leakage, PPE recommendations, and disposal methods.

We have also created and published SDSs for the Solo A3, Solo C3, Solo A7, Solo A5, Solo A10/A10s, Solo ES3, Solo 370, and Solo 760&770 batteries. We have also created SDSs for the Tesifire TC3, SmokeSabre, Scorpion, and Trutest. 

All of our SDSs can be downloaded from our website, and are available in multiple languages.
