A scheme that facilitates the sharing of product chemical informationIt is essential to communicate information on chemicals in products (CiP) with supply-chain partners to appropriately manage the CiP and to continuously respond to expanding regulations. The chemSHERPA system can be used as a common scheme for sharing information across a supply chain.
Designed for efficient information sharingApplicable to various products and industries, chemSHERPA enables organizations to share standardized CiP information both upstream and downstream.
Improves information sharing and chemical management in a supply chainThe chemSHERPA system ensures "responsible information communication” that transfers composition information based on a common substance list, as well as compliance assessment information for articles, striving for better CiP management in the future.

using the chemSHERPA data entry support tool.

Responsible information transfer- Conforming to chemSHERPA usage rules issued by JAMP - “Responsible information transfer” refers to the transfer of accurate, authorized information
about substances in products. It means that an organization has made every effort to ensure accuracy based on information from its suppliers as well as on its own knowledge. It also means that the information has been authorized in accordance with procedures prescribed by the organization by an individual with responsibility for substances in products.
Product suppliers shall prepare compliance assessment information for articles based on the data specified in the Area field and transfer it to customers as ”responsible information.” The accuracy of compliance assessment information shall correspond to the value of allowable content as stipulated in regulations that are the basis of the Area.
“Responsible information transfer” does not mean that information requesters shall force information providers to continue to search for information that they have no way of obtaining or force them to conduct detailed analyses with high-precision instruments.
Trading companies, fabless operators, and contract manufacturers shall examine information from suppliers and transfer it to downstream operation as if it were their own, to ensure responsible information transfer.
