REACH · Regulation (EC) 1907/2006
Governs the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals in the EU. It includes the Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHC), Annex XIV (authorisation) and Annex XVII (restrictions). If an article contains an SVHC above 0.1% by weight, customers must be informed.
With Kemchain: The Compliance Checker screens your raw materials against the Candidate List, Annexes XIV and XVII, registered substances, CoRAP and ECHA’s intention registries, and recalculates when they’re updated.
CLP · Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Implements the UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures in the EU. Annex VI lists harmonised classifications, and the 2024 revision added new hazard classes and label formatting rules.
With Kemchain: Kemchain extracts the classification from supplier SDS, compares it with Annex VI and, with Formulations and Lite, will calculate the classification of your mixtures.
IFRA Standards
The fragrance industry’s self-regulation standards that prohibit, restrict or set specifications for ingredients by product category. They are updated through periodic amendments, and customers require an IFRA certificate per fragrance.
With Kemchain: Includes the IFRA Standards, the annex on contributions from other sources and the IFRA/IOFI Labelling Manual; with Formulations you will issue IFRA certificates from the formula.
Fragrance allergens · Regulation (EU) 2023/1545
Amends the Cosmetics Regulation and extends the fragrance allergens that must be labelled from 24 to more than 80 (above 0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products). New products must comply from 31 July 2026 and products already on the market from 31 July 2028.
With Kemchain: Kemchain extracts allergens from your suppliers’ documentation so you know which raw materials contain them and at what concentration.
Cosmetics · Regulation (EC) 1223/2009
The EU framework for cosmetic products: prohibited substances (Annex II), restricted substances (Annex III), authorised colorants, preservatives and UV filters, product information file (PIF), safety assessment and CPNP notification.
With Kemchain: Checks every ingredient against Regulation 1223/2009 and CosIng and gathers the supplier documentation your product file needs.
Food contact plastics · Regulation (EU) 10/2011
Sets the Union list of substances authorised in plastic food contact materials, their specific migration limits and the requirement for a declaration of compliance along the chain.
With Kemchain: Checks substances against the Regulation 10/2011 list and collects declarations of compliance from your packaging suppliers.
EUDR · Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on deforestation
Requires proof that cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, wood and derived products don’t come from deforested land, through due diligence and geolocation of origin. Its application has been postponed; check the current timetable.
With Kemchain: Supplier questionnaires let you collect origin and due diligence data for affected raw materials.
PFAS · per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
Thousands of very persistent substances. The EU already restricts some (such as PFOA or PFHxA) and is assessing a broad restriction under REACH; the PPWR also limits PFAS in food contact packaging.
With Kemchain: Matches your composition against the OECD global PFAS database and ECHA’s registry of restriction intentions, and launches declaration campaigns to suppliers.
CSRD and Scope 3 · Directive (EU) 2022/2464
Requires sustainability reporting under the ESRS, including Scope 3 emissions. The Omnibus package has reduced the number of companies in scope, but large customers still ask their suppliers for footprint data.
With Kemchain: Kemchain Scope 3 calculates the CO2e of every purchased raw material (GHG Protocol categories 1 and 4), with range and source.
ESPR and Digital Product Passport · Regulation (EU) 2024/1781
The Ecodesign Regulation establishes the Digital Product Passport: structured data on composition, substances of concern, footprint and circularity, to be required by product group through delegated acts.
With Kemchain: Kemchain builds the structured, traced data from the supplier that the passport will need.
PPWR · Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging
Replaces the Packaging Directive and generally applies from 12 August 2026. It limits heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium VI) and PFAS in food contact packaging, and sets recyclability and recycled content requirements.
With Kemchain: Collects heavy metal, recyclability, biodegradability and recycled content data from your packaging suppliers. Kemchain will soon also calculate recyclability.
Food allergens · Regulation (EU) 1169/2011
Requires the 14 allergens in Annex II (gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs) to be declared in food information.
With Kemchain: Extracts food allergens from each ingredient’s documentation and keeps them current.
Nutrition information · Regulation (EU) 1169/2011
Defines the mandatory nutrition declaration: energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt.
With Kemchain: Gathers nutritional data for your ingredients and flavours, with its source.
Halal and Kosher
Religious certifications issued by private bodies. To certify a product, every ingredient must have a valid certificate.
With Kemchain: Requests and tracks the validity of Halal and Kosher certificates for every ingredient; with Formulations you will issue your product’s.
