What is the Chemical Data Management System (CDMS)?

The Chemical Data Management System (CDMS) from TÜV SÜD is a smart system with a core database called the CDMS database that collects and analyses chemical test results. It also makes specific recommendations to improve the testing programme while reducing costs. Find out more about the CDMS by watching the below video.

Why the Chemical Data Management System (CDMS) is important

The CDMS software is closely related to the chemical management service provided by TÜV SÜD. The CDMS software allows businesses to compile and analyse data to increase the efficacy of their testing programme. It lets businesses upload product safety and quality data, and provides an overview of the entire supply chain, from design to distribution.

How TÜV SÜD can help you with the Chemical Data Management System (CDMS)

What our Chemical Data Management System (CDMS) service includes

Our CDMS capabilities include: 

  • An automatic BoM-comparison algorithm to return statistically significant advice by taking the supplier’s chemical testing performance into consideration. 
  • A mathematical model for uncorrelated data to compute the passing probabilities of materials and final products subject to predefined acceptance limits; a time-evolving probability calculation using a rolling timeframe to dynamically reflect the performance of suppliers.
  • The Risk Cube: The predictive capability to forecast the passing rates of raw materials or/and final products upon acceptance limit or evaluation criteria changes. 

 

The CDMS software supports businesses with: 

  • Quality system design and implementation via Plan-Do-Check-Act Testing at the upstream point of the supply chain, and chemical products / formulations screening (smart testing). 
  • Consolidation of all the chemical testing results along the supply chain (BOM, BOS). 
  • Assured traceability along the supply chain from raw materials to final products – a relational database (the CDMS database). 
  • Compiled up-to-date requirements of regulations on chemicals by materials, by usages, and by regions/ countries. 
  • Storage of MSDS, RSL, TDS of chemicals with risk assessments, precautionary actions and phase-out plans for hazardous chemicals. 
  • Formulated test plans to reduce redundant testing. 
  • Formulated test plans to monitor the reduction and elimination of restricted substances. 
  • Compiled testing statistics to evaluate the performance of suppliers.
