Temple CEMS - Chemical Inventory and MSDS

The system itself can be accessed by clicking here.  A CEMS account is necessary to access inventories.

CEMS has almost 25,000 MSDS on file in PDF format. Click here to access the search engine. A CEMS account is not required to access MSDS. For more information, contact our office @ (215) 707-2520.
