ChemInfo is a continuously maintained, uniform collection of validated information on chemical substances, held in a central national database.
The mission of the cooperation is to provide public authorities and the general public reliable information on chemicals in support of all activities to prevent and avert danger and to protect humans and the environment.
Responsibility for operating the system lays with the German Federation and the Environmental Ministries of the Federal States (Länder). The cooperation was established through an administrative agreement in 1994.
