dc.descriptionThis report provides an examination of international systems that facilitate the provision of information concerning chemicals in products (CiP). As a technical document, it systematically details various frameworks developed to address the increasing demand for transparency about chemical content throughout product life cycles. The analysis spans multiple system types, including inter-chain data exchange platforms—exemplified by the automotive sector’s International Material Data System (IMDS)—mechanisms for producer-to-consumer information, producer-to-end-of-life actor communication, and independent initiatives led by NGOs and expert bodies. The document covers the distinct needs of stakeholders across industries, from manufacturers and retailers to consumers, regulators, and end-of-life handlers. It identifies significant gaps between the specific information needs of these groups and the capabilities of current information systems, particularly regarding both the content and interpretability of disclosed chemical data.en
