Login

To work with Compliance Checker, you have to log in to the application with your credentials. Fill in your username and password and start your task from an empty workspace.

Single check

This check type gives you a very quick response to the question whether the substance of interest falls under any regulation or not.

Substance input

Click the single check icon to open the Simple check page. You can choose between two input modes:

  • Draw molecule: draw the structure in a Marvin JS window, click OK when done.

  • Text: type or copy the IUPAC or common name or any character-type representation (like smiles, mrv, mol, inchi, ...) or the CAS # of the substance in the text box and the molecular structure appears in the panel above. As text recognition is instantaneous, the structure appears and changes dynamically as typing continues.

Regulation categories

Two modes are offered to select the regulation categories which are needed for the compliance checking. Categories can be chosen by countries or by check levels.

Select categories by countries

Here you can narrow down your compliance checking to the categories - by selecting from the Available categories - which are valid in the countries of interest. By default, all countries' categories are searched.

You can switch to the check levels mode.
