Rules for making the SDS
current
There can only be one current SDS for a substance
There can be many previously current SDSs linked nose to tail going back in history
Current and previous SDSs cannot be changed
There is (usually) one "next" SDS which is not yet effective or requires attention
There can never be more than one "next" SDS for a substance
If the substance changes and is saved, the "next" SDS is automatically created or updated
All incremental substance changes are reflected in the "next" SDS
The "next" SDS becomes current when:
All QA errors are eliminated
All hazards have been tagged as 'confirmed'
The author inserts a date for it to become effective
The effective date (which can be set in the future) is today or older than today
It replaces the current SDS
The current SDS can have an expiry date but that is cosmetic only
The current SDS cannot be withdrawn until it is replaced
The replaced SDS gets an automatic withdrawn date when it is replaced
The replaced SDS gets linked (in history) with the new current SDS
