Both chemicals and articles can be registered in Checkmate ‘N3. Suppliers can log in to our secure platform to submit a chemical SDS or article TDS, and other requested data. Key information is then automatically extracted by our AI engine, including chemical composition, physical properties, GHS classification codes, and transport codes. Additionally, suppliers are encouraged to identify product uses, provide product labels and additional safety and certification documents. Their ESG status can also be assessed using our proprietary ESG engine.

The product analysis phase is largely automated, involving checking data integrity against various codes and evaluating the regulatory burden of the product. Checkmate ‘N3 checks all data points against GHS classifications suggested by Chemwatch’s proprietary rules engine, seeking any inconsistencies with regulations found in our database of over 8,600 regulatory lists. Hazardous chemicals found within products will be flagged to ensure they are allowed into the desired market. The regulatory burden analysis identifies potential problems that might arise following distribution or sale.

Once the product analysis phase is complete, our Hazard Review Team manually assesses any discrepancies identified in the assessment phase. This additional compliance check takes into account the constantly changing federal, state, provincial, and local regulations.

Audit results will be displayed in your product dashboard and have one of two outcomes:

• Sent to Purchaser status means that no unacceptable inconsistencies were found in the review process. The purchaser must sign-off on the audit report before the status changes to Accepted by Purchaser.
• Needs Attention indicates that an unacceptable inconsistency has been discovered and the supplier will be alerted. The product is put on hold until the supplier remedies any issues and resubmits the product for reapproval.
