Pure Substances revision process





No SLA: depending on priority negotiated in Salesforce

Usually, it takes ca. one week. However, this largely depends on the request type (creation or revision) and on the request complexity (e.g., if there is a considerable amount of new information for a substance that triggers new or an update of classification).

After received and validated, the request is dispatched to a substance manager , who is responsible for the substance evaluation and classification, data entry in SAP, and communication with the requester and the impacted GBU(s).

It is recommended to contact the substance manager using the email/comments section in the SalesForce.

Yes, Pure Sub revision/creation requests submitted without any justification will be rejected.


Impact Assessment - Communication to the GBUs

E ach GBU is informed about the change in classification of the PURE_SUB and the list of PROD_COM impacted via HazCom impact assessment - Google Groups (see below):

(to be modify)

Request in Salesforce - Good practices

For new or update substance, it is necessary to make a request in SalesForce via the link. Create a new CASE and complete the form.

Fill in all the mandatory fields:

  • Status;
  • Internal name;
  • State of matter;
  • Chemical characterization;
  • Z_OWNER;
  • Substance nature;
  • Regulatory information.

It’s better to indicate as much information as possible.

Fill also the fields:

  • CAS number;
  • Priority: High / Medium / Low. Precise a deadline if possible
  • Additional info / Context of the request : precise all the necessary information (component or impurity, %)
  • Add attachments: SDS supplier, other information.
