There is an increasing demand to improve global chemical management and information sharing. Information handling between supply-chain participants is crucial to effectively manage chemical substances in products (CiP) and continuously adapt to evolving laws and regulations. One common technique for handling chemical information across a supply chain is the ChemSHERPA.

ChemSHERPA is the short term for Chemical information Sharing and Exchange under Reporting PArtnership in the supply chain. It is an information-sharing scheme for chemical substances in products. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) developed ChemSHERPA in October 2015. The ministry’s goal is to make it a standard throughout the supply chain. This method facilitates sharing of reliable information on the chemicals used in products. Furthermore, ChemSHERPA enables organizations to manage the CiP information consistent with a consolidated policy. The operator of this plateform is Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium (JAMP).
The initial focus of ChemSHERPA was on the electrical and electronics industry. According to an estimation done by JAMP in 2016, 39% of the companies participating in the monthly seminars in Japan on ChemSHERPA were electrical and electronics organizations, while 23% were from the chemical industry. There were also businesses from other industry sectors, including automobile, manufacturing, wood and paper, aerospace, and metal products.
ChemSHERPA eventually expanded to other sectors of the industry. Essentially, it applies to various businesses and products from upstream to downstream in a supply chain.
In 2016, Meti introduced ChemSHERPA to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Commission. There is also increasing interest in ChemSHERPA from other countries worldwide, such as China, the USA, Canada, and Germany.
Currently, several big companies use ChemSHERPA for their chemical management, such as:
In a nutshell, chemical management reduces risk and improves product quality and brand reputation by making informed decisions that maintain product reliability and protect human health and the environment. Therefore, companies implement chemical management systems by:
Importantly, international standards can help corporates adopt the best-recognized practices. Such standards enable them to demonstrate transparency and due diligence. Examples are:
Here, we are discussing three key reasons why organizations should follow a unique chemical management scheme:
2. There are risks associated with not providing appropriate information and chemical management. Organizations could face significant fines, suspension of their business, and even imprisonment. There is also potential for product recalls leading to increasing the organization’s expenses and contract termination.
3. Chemical management could be challenging for many companies if they want to follow an internal reporting format. ChemSHERPA provides a solution to all the problems associated with chemical management. As a result, ChemSHERPA minimizes the burden on companies.
ChemSHERPA helps organizations in managing the chemical used in their products by providing a mechanism implementing the following three requirements:
