SOFOS 360
Release 2024-06
Releasenotes > Release 2024-06
 The format of the SDS has been adjusted following the description in Regulation (EU) 2020/878

Within SOFOS360, the SDS can be generated for each substance. The content of this SDS has been adjusted according to the guidelines described in Regulation (EU) 2020/878.

 A UFI number can be recorded for an article

Starting from January 1, 2025, it will be a legal requirement to have a UFI code on the labels of products with physical and/or health classifications. UFI, which stands for 'Unique Formula Identifier', allows for the tracing of a particular product from a specific supplier. This code will enable emergency responder at the poison control center to provide correct advice in case of an incident.
The UFI number can be entered in SOFOS360 on the Articles screen and can be found next to the field 'EAN/GTIN NUMBER'.

 

            
 During a pot mutation, you will receive a notification if the maximum stock limit in the selected room is exceeded or will be exceeded

From this version onward, you will receive a notification during a pot mutation (creating a new batch, issuing, returning to the warehouse) if the pot is placed in a room where, after placement, it would exceed any defined maximum stock limit for that room. The room will be highlighted in red on the mutation screen where the change is being processed.

 

 Adjustments to the 'Lists' tab in a substance

The 'Lists' tab of a substance has been reorganized. Furthermore, on this screen, it is now visible when one of the mixture components appears on the SZW list. This was already visible for substances such as ZZS and PZZS, and is now also visible for SZW.

If a component in a mixture has an SZW indication, you can find this information on the Lists tab, similar to the ZZS indication. Additionally, Annex 12a and Annex 12b lists have been replaced by the BAL Annex 3 list. The first two lists were part of the Activities Decree, which has now transitioned into the Environmental Activities Decree (BAL). Furthermore, the ODS indication has been removed and has been incorporated into the 'ODP and F-Gases' indication. Finally, Annex 14 has also been removed and incorporated into the REACH authorisation list entry.

 

   

 The automatic determination of potential PGS15 notifications for pot mutations can be configured

Starting from this version, users can configure whether PGS15 notifications for pot mutations are determined automatically. In large databases, this determination process can take longer, potentially slowing down daily operations.


In the user settings (Settings - 'My Information') on the 'General Settings' tab, you can specify whether the determination should occur automatically or not. In the first case, when performing a pot mutation for the selected area, the system will check for any PGS15 notifications. If there are notifications, the button will be active and display red text. If there are no notifications, the button will be inactive. If the determination is not set to occur automatically, the button will always be active and display the normal text color. Clicking on an active button will display the PGS15 report for the selected area in both cases.

 

 The 'Stock' report now includes an additional indicator that shows when the current stock exceeds the maximum limit for a specific space

For a specific space, you can set a maximum stock level for a certain substance. Once the stock module is installed, pots can also be placed within a room. Under the 'Report - Stock' menu, there is an option for a 'Stock' report where you can choose the 'Chemical product stock (totals per room)' report type. This report has been enhanced with two additional columns: one for the maximum stock set for each room and another indicating when the current stock surpasses this maximum. If the current stock exceeds the maximum, a red exclamation mark appears in the column. You can search for this exclamation mark within the report to identify these instances of exceeding the maximum stock.

 New EU classifications added

From 1 May 2025, suppliers are required to indicate for new substances, where applicable, whether the substance possesses endocrine disrupting properties or poses a long-term risk to the environment. To this end, a number of new classifications have been added within the EU including a number of new H-phrases (EUH-phrases). In this version of SOFOS360, these new classifications have been added. These are the following classifications:

 

Classification EUH-statement Description
ED HH 1 EUH380

May cause endocrine disruption in humans

ED HH 2 EUH381 Suspected of causing endocrine disruption in humans
ED ENV 1 EUH430 May cause endocrine disruption in the environment
ED ENV 2 EUH431 Suspected of causing endocrine disruption in the environment
PBT EUH440 Accumulates in the environment and living organisms including in humans
zPzB EUH441 Strongly accumulates in the environment and living organisms including in humans
PMT EUH450 Can cause long-lasting and diffuse contamination of water resources
zPzM EUH451 Can cause very long-lasting and diffuse contamination of water resources
