23 Jul 2025
Chemical traceability is the ability to track chemicals and related information within operations and through the supply chain. It enables better oversight, supports responsible sourcing and provides the transparency needed to identify risks, verify claims and demonstrate compliance.
There are three requirements for traceability:
1
Lot/batch numbers
Record lot/batch numbers of all chemicals purchased by the facility
2
First-in-first-out
Implement a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) system
3
Traceability system
Implement a system of traceability
