It used to be challenging to keep track of where we were in the process but the Help me organize feature in Google Sheets has become our secret weapon, allowing us to design step-driven processes with unparalleled flexibility. Now, we have a unified place to build and organize plans, trackers, and timelines, and keep them up to date in real time.
However, some features such as joining a Meet call from your documents are only available on Google Workspace plans, and Gemini for Workspace features like Help me organize are available as an add-on; see plans and pricing for organizations or Google Workspace Individual.
Co-editing means that multiple people can work on the same spreadsheet at the same time, without having to send versions back and forth. Sharing settings allows you to control who can view and edit a spreadsheet, and revision history enables you to revert to earlier versions. Also available in Google Docs and Slides.
A datasheet, data sheet, or spec sheet is a document that summarizes the performance and other characteristics of a product, machine, component (e.g., an electronic component), material, subsystem (e.g., a power supply), or software in sufficient detail that allows a buyer to understand what the product is and a design engineer to understand the role of the component in the overall system. Typically, a datasheet is created by the manufacturer and begins with an introductory page describing the rest of the document, followed by listings of specific characteristics, with further information on the connectivity of the devices. In cases where there is relevant source code to include, it is usually attached near the end of the document or separated into another file. Datasheets are created, stored, and distributed via product information management or product data management systems.
Depending on the specific purpose, a datasheet may offer an average value, a typical value, a typical range, engineering tolerances, or a nominal value. The type and source of data are usually stated on the datasheet.
A datasheet is usually used for commercial or technical communication to describe the characteristics of an item or product. It can be published by the manufacturer to help people choose products or to help use the products. By contrast, a technical specification is an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by a material, product, or service.
The ideal datasheet specifies characteristics in a formal structure, according to a strict taxonomy, that allows the information to be processed by a machine. Such machine readable descriptions can facilitate information retrieval, display, design, testing, interfacing, verification, system discovery, and e-commerce. Examples include Open Icecat data-sheets, transducer electronic data sheets for describing sensor characteristics, and Electronic device descriptions in CANopen or descriptions in markup languages, such as SensorML.
In Open Icecat, the global open catalog or open content project in which hundreds of manufacturers and thousands of e-commerce sellers participate, the data models of tens of thousands of taxonomy classes are defined, and millions of free PDSs can be found conforming these data-sheet data models.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), or Product Safety Data Sheet (PSDS) is an important component of product stewardship and occupational safety and health. These are required by agencies such as OSHA in its Hazard Communication Standard, 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200. It provides workers with ways to allow them to work in a safe manner and gives them physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. The MSDSs differ from country to country, as different countries have different regulations. In some jurisdictions, it is compulsory for the SDS to state the chemical's risks, safety, and effect on the environment.
The SDSs are a commonly used classification for logging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. The SDSs often include the safe use of the chemical and the hazardous nature of the chemical. Anytime chemicals are used these datasheets will be found.
There is a need to have an internationally recognized symbol when describing hazardous substances. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, used to denote a harmful substance.
The purpose of an SDS is not so that the general public will have a knowledge of how to read and understand it, but more so that it can be used in an occupational setting to allow workers to be able to work with it.
Datasheets and pages are available for specific properties of chemicals in Chemical elements data references: example, Melting points of the elements (data page). Specific materials have technical data in individual sheets such as ethanol: this includes subjects such as structure and properties, thermodynamic properties, spectral data, vapor pressure, etc. Other chemical datasheets are available from individual producers of chemicals, often on their web pages.
Datasheets for automobiles may be described under several names such as features, specs, engineering data, technical summary, etc. They help communicate the technical information about a car to potential buyers and are useful for comparisons with similar cars. They might include: critical inside and outside dimensions, weight, fuel efficiency, engine and drive train, towing capability, safety features and options, warranty, etc.
Safety data sheets include information about the properties of the substance or mixture, its hazards and instructions for handling, disposal and transport and also first-aid, fire-fighting and exposure control measures. The format and content of the safety data sheets are specified in REACH. A safety data sheet should be provided to downstream users for:
When downstream users receive a safety data sheet, they need to identify and apply appropriate measures to adequately control the risks. Suppliers and recipients of SDSs are encouraged to check that the required information is provided. A checklist was developed by ECHA and enforcement authorities and is available for this purpose. Downstream users are encouraged to inform their suppliers about inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the SDS received.
When safety data sheets are not required, the supplier must still provide sufficient information for safe use. If restriction or authorisation applies to any substance, the necessary details should be provided. Suppliers of articles that contain more than 0.1% w/w of a substance on the Candidate List have to provide enough information to allow the safe use of the article to downstream users and distributors.
Exposure scenarios provide information on how the exposure of workers, consumers and the environment to hazardous substances can be controlled during use. Relevant exposure scenarios should be included as an annex to the safety data sheet of a substance when a company in the supply chain has carried out a chemical safety assessment under REACH.
Harmonisation and automation are essential elements for efficient communication. To support this, a common layout format for the exposure scenarios was agreed and the ESCom catalogue of standard phrases and IT format (ESComXML) were developed. This allows an automated exchange of harmonised information on the safe use of chemicals between various actors in the supply chain and their own systems.
Two approaches have been developed by industry to identify the information to communicate. One approach, called "safe use of mixtures information" (SUMI), is where sector organisations identify the risk management measures for typical products and uses within the sector. They generate SUMIs giving this advice in a user-friendly way and based on an agreed template.
The formulators select the appropriate SUMI for their product, and check that it is consistent with the exposure scenarios received from their suppliers. An explanatory document has been published by DUCC, the Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination group.
The second approach, called the "lead component identification" (LCID), is intended for situations when a suitable SUMI is not available. The formulator identifies the lead components in a mixture and derives safe use information for the mixture from the risk management measures for the lead components. Cefic has published a practical guide on the LCID methodology.
This is suitable when the recipients are also formulators, and generate safety data sheets for their own mixtures. It may also be suitable for end users of the mixture when the appropriate risk management measures for an identified use are clearly specified in one exposure scenario for each identified use. When there are multiple suppliers of the same substance, a consolidated exposure scenario may be generated.
Data Sheets and Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) are published here on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, or have any queries about this information, please contact the pharmaceutical company named as the sponsor in the data sheet or CMI.
CMI is useful information about your medicine and is written especially for you. CMI contains advice such as what the medicine is used for, how it should be taken, what side effects can occur, whether you can drive or drink alcohol while taking the medicine, and what to do if you miss a dose. However, CMI do not contain all the available information about the medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns about taking the medicine.
Pharmaceutical companies are responsible for producing CMI. However, in New Zealand there are no legal requirements for them to do so. The CMIs that are on this website have been written by pharmaceutical companies, using Guidelines set by Medsafe. The companies self-assess what information goes in each CMI against the requirements of the Guidelines. Medsafe does not evaluate or approve CMIs, therefore Medsafe is not responsible for the information contained in a CMI.
