The data base is called SPIN (Substances in Products in the Nordic Countries). It is now available on the Internet.

Chemical substances on the market
SPIN contains non-confidential information on chemical substances on the Nordic market, including volume data and in which types of products and branches the chemicals are used.

Improved access to information
The purpose with SPIN is to aggregate data on substances from the national product registers of the Nordic countries. These registers provide among the most complete information on chemical substances in products worldwide. SPIN makes it possible to offer more information on a greater number of substances to a wider audience.

Updated annually
The Nordic Council of Ministers through the Nordic Chemicals Group is behind the SPIN initiative. The Nordic Group of Product Registers are responsible for the practical creation of the data base.

SPIN will be updated annually.
