Corrections policy

Reporting an error

Email research@apexscienceslabs.com with the page address and what is wrong. If you can point to a source, include it — it makes the correction faster and it means we can cite it.

Corrections to chemical identifiers, mechanism statements, handling guidance and regulatory descriptions are all in scope. So are typographical errors, broken links and anything that reads as a claim we did not intend to make.

What we do with it

A reported factual error is checked against the source material. If it is wrong, the page is corrected and its last-reviewed date is updated on the next build.

Where a correction materially changes what a page asserted — a different mechanism, a different identifier, a withdrawn claim — we note the change on the page rather than editing silently. Typographical and formatting fixes are made without a note.

Identifier errors are treated as urgent

A wrong CAS number, formula, molecular weight or sequence can propagate into an order and an experiment. If you believe an identifier on this site is wrong, say so in the subject line and we will prioritise it over everything else in the queue.

If you are unsure whether a value is wrong, report it anyway. We would rather check a correct value than leave a wrong one up.

If you are not satisfied

If a reported error is not addressed, escalate to the same address marking it for the documentation owner. Include the original report date so it can be traced.
