What is a Chemical Inventory Search?
Many nations have established a list of chemical substances that are in commerce in that country. These lists are commonly known as chemical inventories.
Determining the status of a substance on a chemical inventory is an important first step in understanding how a particular substance is regulated in a country. Every country who has an inventory establishes and maintains their own chemical inventory in their own unique way. For instance, there may be exemptions for certain substances (i.e., if they are naturally occurring) or there may be exemptions available that would allow a substance to enter into commerce without being present on an inventory. Finally, some inventories allow for specific substance identities to be kept confidential.
This Chemical Inventory Search tool allows you to see quickly the inventory status of a chemical in those countries which have an inventory.
