Selling a raw material or product in another country isn’t just about REACH. Every market has its existing substance inventory, its restrictions, its export controls and, often, your customers’ own lists. Checking them by hand for hundreds of materials isn’t realistic.
What the Compliance Checker does
Kemchain Suppliers matches each raw material’s composition, by CAS number and including isomers and families, against the lists you activate. The result is a traffic light per material:
- Red: contains forbidden substances.
- Blue: restricted substances above the limit.
- Orange: a declaration or specification is required.
- Green: compliant.
- Grey: composition missing, cannot be assessed.
When a list is updated, Kemchain recalculates your materials’ status.
Which lists it includes
Today there are 139 lists from 21 countries, the European Union and international bodies. Some examples:
| Market | Examples |
|---|---|
| European Union | REACH (Candidate List, Annexes XIV and XVII), CLP Annex VI, Cosmetics 1223/2009, food contact plastics 10/2011, POP, PIC |
| United States | TSCA Inventory, California Prop 65, EPCRA, FDA cosmetics, FEMA GRAS |
| China | IECSC, IECIC, Directory of Hazardous Chemicals, GB 9685 |
| Asia-Pacific | KECI and K-REACH (Korea), TCSI (Taiwan), AICIS (Australia), Vietnam, Thailand |
| International | IFRA Standards, OEKO-TEX, ZDHC, IARC, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions |
You can see the full list, with each version, on the regulations page.
And your own lists
Many brands have their own restricted substance list. In Kemchain you can load your own or customer lists and check them just like official ones, so you know whether a material meets your customer’s requirements before they ask.
