Declare
The Declare database is free to the public and significantly reduces the time required for materials research. All Declare labels are inventoried at 100 ppm and all Red List Free and Red List Approved labels can be used without further documentation. The database includes a full ingredients list and identifies any Exceptions used, confirms emissions testing compliance, represents final point(s) of assembly, and end of life options for all Declare products with active labels. The database is searchable and can be filtered and sorted by Declaration Status, LBC Imperative Compliance, CSI MasterFormat Division, manufacturer, and more.

Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) Registry
CAS Registry is the most authoritative collection of disclosed chemical substance information. The registry covers substances identified from the scientific literature from 1957 to the present, with additional substances going back to the early 1900s. The registry is updated daily with thousands of new substances and FAQ documents.

GreenScreen List Translator
The GreenScreen List Translator™ provides a “list of lists” approach to quickly identify chemicals of high concern. It does this by scoring chemicals based on information from over 40 hazard lists developed by authoritative scientific bodies convened by international, national and state governmental agencies, intergovernmental agencies and NGOs. These GreenScreen Specified Lists include REACH categorizations and chemical hazard classifications by countries using the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Each of the GreenScreen Specified Lists is mapped to hazard endpoints and a hazard level or range based on the GreenScreen Hazard Criteria.
