We would like to point out, that some descriptions are not implemented in all above-mentioned
languages in the ChemGes database, as the official translations in several languages are (partly)
unavailable due to legal circumstances (for example: descriptions of newly listed substance in
Annex VI were published in English only).

We want to emphasize the following facts:

bulletThe CAS number registry contains more than 110,000,000 substances with CAS numbers. 
bulletThe provided raw materials in our database can only be a small subset of the contents of the CAS number registry and contain the most common chemicals. Usually customers have to add own chemicals. The percentage of chemicals in our database, which a company might use, varies depending on the type of industry. Please check the list of chemicals in our database to check for completeness here.
bulletAs ECHA expressly prohibits the transfer of substance specific data to other software, we can unfortunately not provide this information.
bulletEcotoxicological data is hardly available. We do, of course, seek to implement as much data as possible into our databases.
bulletThe substance names cannot be made available in all languages, as the necessary translations (for example Thai and Hindi) are not at our disposal. In this case the English substance names are used, which is usually accepted by the national authorities without objection.
bulletOur database does not contain any mixtures, also not basic mixtures, which might be sold as raw materials. 
bulletCustomers have to add missing raw materials by themselves. DR-Software will not do that.
