WERCSmart is a supply chain safety management system designed and developed by The WERCS Company in the United States for large and medium-sized retailers. It can achieve: unified and effective management of a large supplier network and products; safety assessment of target and existing products for easy screening. It is an industry-leading retail program specially developed for retailers to quickly and easily obtain accurate compliance and sustainability data. The program provides suppliers with a safe and intuitive way to submit key product and chemical composition data required to edit a complete set of hazard transfer data, and directly deliver supplier-registered product information to retailers. Such an authoritative audit and identification program makes it easier and more convenient to promote cooperation between suppliers and retailers. Suppliers registered with WERCSmart are undoubtedly the preferred purchasing targets for retailers.
The Wercs is a leading global provider of green supply chain systems and chemical regulatory response software. Its software packages play an important role in helping customers manage product information and deliver hazard information.
Currently, retailers that have confirmed cooperation with The Wercs include Wal-Mart, O'Reilly, Costco, Sears/K-Mart, Rite Aid, etc., requiring all their suppliers to register their products on WercSmart.

Product categories that require WERCSmart registration
1. The product contains certain chemicals, which are dangerous or potentially dangerous, or controlled chemical ingredients, and the downstream retailers (customers) use the Wercsmart system;
2. General clothing and food do not need to be registered, except for food in special containers (such as sprayers or vacuum tubes, etc.);
3. Retailers require suppliers to register.
WERCSmart Registration for Battery Products
There are two modes for the registration of battery products:
1. Registration of batteries not sold directly to retailers
This battery is only used when installed in other electronic products, and this electronic product is sold as an independent brand. This battery does not have a UPC/GTIN code, and is registered by the battery supplier to the WERCSmart system for other electronic product suppliers to link battery information when registering.
Main information requirements:
SDS file (including model, capacity, weight, voltage, 100% ingredient list, CAS number of each ingredient, form, color, odor, transportation method, and hazard protection measures, etc.)
2. Registration of Batteries Sold Directly to Retailers
This battery has a UPC/GTIN code and is registered on the WERCSmart system, which will pass the relevant information to the downstream retailers specified during registration.
Main information requirements:
SDS document, shipping method, UPC code, packaging method, weight (ounces), designated retailer name, retailer contact phone number and email, qualified supplier D number (O'Reily, Sears/K-Mart, Wal-Mart/SAM'S CLUB required)
WERCSmart Registration for Electronic Products Containing Batteries
Registration of electronic products containing batteries requires two steps:
1. The battery supplier shall first register the battery information on the WERCSmart system and add the battery supplier's name to the WERCS battery supplier list (if there are multiple different battery suppliers, they must register separately)
2. When registering the electronic product, the supplier of the electronic product needs to select the battery information included in the step, and the supplier of the battery will be found in the list and the battery information will be linked.
From this we can see that the SDS control for electronic products containing batteries is still targeted at batteries.
Main information requirements:
SDS document, shipping method, UPC code, packaging method, weight (ounces), designated retailer name, retailer contact number and email, qualified supplier ID number (O'Reily, Sears/K-Mart, Wal-Mart/SAM'S CLUB required)
WERCSmart Registration for Other Products
1. Products sold under retailer brands require WERCSmart to edit the SDS file
2. In addition to the information contained in the ordinary MSDS file, liquid products generally also need to provide information on water specific gravity, pH value, boiling point, flash point, personal protection measures (mask, gloves, apron, protective glasses), autoignition temperature, minimum autoignition energy (mJ), water/oil ratio, viscosity coefficient)
3. For OTC and nutritional products, product nameplates (PDF format) are required.
