Not convinced yet?

We understand that this is not all about data quality and efficiency. It is a business questions. Safety data senders and recipients need to implement eSDScom, but only the recipient saves retyping. So what does the sender win?

• Use phrases provided by the largest group of independent experts, carefully created for less ambiguity, better translatability, and more sense.
• Use a well maintained, relatively easy XML format to keep up with legal developments and apply standard XML tools for further processing.
• Rely on an industry standard that covers the legal requirements, but also reflects the business needs of companies and is modified at a decent pace when necessary.

Still, it comes down to a business case. See this presentation to learn why eSDScom is not only efficient, but also cost effective. And you may want to look at the tool chain to apply eSDScom even if your suppliers don't (yet).
