What Does EINECS Stand For?

EINECS stands for European Inventory Of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances

EINECS, or the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances, is a comprehensive database that identifies and lists chemical substances that were commercially available in the European Union prior to September 18, 1981. Managed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), EINECS serves as a key regulatory tool for the assessment and management of chemical substances, ensuring compliance with safety standards and promoting environmental protection. It plays a crucial role in the European Union's chemical regulatory framework, facilitating the tracking and regulation of chemicals in commerce.
