NPIS Product Data Centre

In order for the NPIS to provide as accurate advice as possible on the treatment and management of patients exposed to consumer products, reliable information on the composition of these products is necessary. Manufacturers' product Safety Data Sheets (SDS) also provide information for updating TOXBASE, enabling end-users to obtain specific advice on many common products.

In 2010/11, over 9,000 SDS were added to the NPIS Product Data Centre which now holds 63,256 SDS.

The database is indexed by product name, manufacturer, date of SDS, and the date of entry to the database. Where these fields are insufficient, the database is also fully text searchable, which enables searches to be made on any other criteria, e.g. active ingredients or use.

Information for manufacturers wishing to submit safety data sheets

To submit safety data sheets please email director.birmingham.unit@npis.org.
