The consumer protection applications provide valid data for both citizens and employees of supervisory authorities for substances relating to foodstuffs and everyday products. Apart from data on chemical substances information is also given on microorganisms and pathogens.

No chemical expertise is necessary for using the database.

Particularly basic are legal sources relating to the substances: e.g. regulations and limits concerning foodstuffs, cosmetics, children’s toys, cleaning agents, pesticides etc. as well as their disposal, storage and transport or import and export. In addition, links to emergency addresses, e.g. in the event of poisoning, make it possible to download information from other specialist organisations and advisers.
