Scan4Chem

Scan4Chem is a powerful Chrome extension that allows users to identify substances of very high concern (SVHCs) in everyday products such as toys, sports equipment, furniture, and clothing by scanning barcodes. These substances are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction, or environmentally harmful.

By leveraging the EU REACH regulation's right to information, Scan4Chem helps consumers receive data about SVHCs in products, encouraging safer choices and prompting suppliers to disclose relevant chemical details. The app connects to a growing database populated by suppliers and supports user inquiries to foster transparency. Currently available across 18 European countries, Scan4Chem empowers users to protect themselves and the environment by avoiding hazardous chemicals in consumer goods.
