The first approach is based on the boiling point under reduced pressure data, which can easily be found in the technical literatureTS. The manufacturers catalogues for substances also give these values. The tables that appear in Part Three systematically mention this data whenever available. They do not appear in any of the safety databases in the safety shee produced by the chemical industry for users.

The Chemical Incidents Report Center (CIRC) is an incident database initiated by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. An online search of this database (www.chemsafety.gov/circ), as well as a more general web search, may be a good starting point for a literature survey. 

The IPCS INCHEM was produced through cooperation between the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), and directly responds to one of the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) priority actions to consolidate current, internationally peer-reviewed chemical safety-related publications and database records from international bodies, for public access (IPCS INCHEM 2007).

Approximately three decades ago, the U.S. government created the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemicals (RTECS) database (www.ccohs.ca/education/asp/search rtecs.html). Initially available in book form only, it became later available on CD-ROM, from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, USA, or affiliated vendors (e.g., the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety [CCOHS] www.ccohs.ca). This database contains information on approximately 120,000 substances, including (where available) acute and chronic toxicity data for terrestrial organisms, primarily mammalian species, such as rats, mice, rabbits, monkeys, and humans. This database will be transferred to the private sector in the near future for maintenance. RTECS cannot be searched by structure, but by name, formula, CAS, and several other means. CCOHS provides also a website which allows limited searching of the RTECS database at ccin-foweb.ccohs.ca/rtecs/search.html, but access to data is for subscribers only. 

The BIDS RSC service provides access to four bibliographic databases and a further two databases (Chemical Safety Data Sheets and the UK Nutrient Databank via the WWW at http //www.bids.ac.uk/websearch.html) are supported by The Royal Society of Chemistry (URL http //www.bids.ac.uk/ Tfedocs/rsc.html). The databases are ... 

In contrast, the Chemical Safety Data Sheet database is searched using chemical name or synonyms, while the UK Nutrient databank is searched by food name. 

Chemical Safety NewsBase (http //www.rsc.org/is/database/csnbhome.htm) This provides information on the health and safety effects of chemicals used in industry, and all health and safety aspects relevant to the laboratory and office environment. The database contains over 50000 items. Each reference includes the document title, full bibliographic details and a detailed abstract. The database is updated each month with coverage of scientific journals, new books, standards, data sheets, audiovisual aids and technical reports. 

These provide safety information for over 550 common chemicals. The database is arranged alphabetically to enable easy access.

Suppliers should also periodically review the information on which the label and safety data sheet for a substance or mixture is based, even if no new and significant information has been provided to them in respect of that substance or mixture. This will require e.g. a search of chemical hazard databases for new information. The competent authority may choose to specify a time (typically 3-5 years) from the date of original preparation, within which suppliers should review the labels and SDS information. 

This database contains toxicological data on over 850 chemicals of particular interest to the United States Great Lakes basin. Each record provides descriptive data on up to 23 topic areas, including physical and chemical properties, toxicity, and environmental fate. Produced by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Fully evaluated and referenced data.
