Chemical regulatory data and SDS management

Overview

3E (3eco.com) provides regulatory compliance and safety solutions focused on chemical management and product stewardship. It helps manufacturers, suppliers, and other businesses manage complex chemical regulations and ensure safe shipment and sale of products across markets. The company offers outsourced services for supplier data collection and normalization, SDS obtainment and management, and continuous access to a database of regulatory information. Their subscription model provides ongoing access to regulatory data (over 10 million SDSs) and expert support, with 24/7 assistance for emergencies. Unlike broader compliance firms, 3E emphasizes a full-service platform that combines data normalization, SDS handling, and real-time regulatory updates to help clients maintain REACH and other global compliance, reduce recalls, and improve supply chain visibility and sustainability.
