US EPA Safer Chemical Ingredient List
Tool Owner
The Safer Chemical Ingredients List (SCIL) is a list of chemical ingredients, arranged by functional-use class, that the Safer Choice Program has evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients. This list is designed to help manufacturers find safer chemical alternatives that meet the criteria of the Safer Choice Program.
Guidance on Key Considerations for the Identification and Selection of Safer Chemical Alternatives
This guidance was developed with the aim to advance broader agreement on a general approach and criteria for the selection of safer alternatives, with a focus on chemical substitution. It is intended to advance a consistent understanding of the minimum requirements needed to determine whether a chemical alternative is safer than the priority chemical, product, or technology for substitution, independent of the entity performing the assessment or the alternatives assessment framework being used.
Chemical Hazard Assessment Database (CHAD)
Tool Owner
The IC2 developed the Chemical Hazard Assessment Database (CHAD) to enable users to search for free publicly available GreenScreen® assessments. The purpose of this tool is to promote awareness of assessments conducted on chemicals of high concern as well as potential alternatives, facilitate transparency and discussion, and reduce duplication of effort.
Safer Choice Standard and Criteria
Tool Owner
The Safer Choice and Design for the Environment (DfE) Standard, formerly known as the "Safer Choice Standard," identifies the requirements products and their ingredients must meet to earn the Safer Choice label or the DfE logo.
