ChemComply Restricted Substance Database

Search 20+ global product chemical regulations in one place.

ChemComply organizes EU, US, and other major-market product chemical regulations into a restricted substance database.

Members can quickly review CAS No., substance names, applicable regulations, limits, product scope, and practical notes.

Risk

Initial risk screening

Why is checking one substance so difficult?

The challenge is not only finding data; it is turning scattered information into something comparable and actionable.

Fragmented regulations

REACH, RoHS, POPs, TSCA, Prop 65, PPWR, FCM, and other requirements are spread across different sources.

Inconsistent names

The same substance may appear with different names, abbreviations, CAS numbers, group names, or regulatory expressions.

Different product scopes

Some restrictions apply to electronics, while others apply to packaging, children’s products, food contact materials, or chemicals.

Finding text is not judging risk

Teams still need to understand limits, product scope, test methods, and documentation requirements.

What can the database help members confirm?

The database helps members understand substances, regulations, product scope, and follow-up requirements.

  • Whether a CAS No. is restricted by major product chemical regulations
  • Which regulatory lists include the substance
  • Applicable product scope
  • Concentration limits or restriction conditions
  • RoHS, REACH, POPs, Prop 65, TSCA, FCM, packaging, or other relevance
  • Suggested test methods
  • Supplier declaration, test report, or supporting documentation needs
  • Whether continued regulatory monitoring is needed

Organized into fields that support decisions

The value is in converting regulatory information into searchable, comparable, and practical fields.

CAS No.

Quickly match substances.

Substance Name

Identify substance names and synonyms.

Regulation

Map requirements to regulations or lists.

Limit / Requirement

Understand limits or restriction conditions.

Product Scope

Clarify applicable product categories.

Test Method

Support testing method consideration.

Practical Notes

Provide practical compliance notes.

Action Needed

Suggest follow-up actions.

Common work situations

The database supports R&D, QA, sourcing, supplier management, and customer document response workflows.

Before introducing new materials

Screen restricted substances and applicable requirements early.

Supplier document review

Check whether declarations or reports cover relevant regulatory requirements.

Customer RSL response

Support customer requests by checking EU and US restrictions.

Before exporting to Europe or the US

Check whether additional regulations, testing, or documents may be needed.

PPWR / packaging management

Confirm packaging regulatory direction and data collection needs.

Before AI document generation

Confirm applicable requirements before drafting DoC, technical files, or supplier letters.

The database supports risk judgment, but does not replace formal testing or manufacturer responsibility

ChemComply database access helps members quickly search regulatory requirements and make preliminary compliance judgments. Actual product compliance still depends on composition, suppliers, reports, applicable markets, and manufacturer responsibility.
