Sector pressures
What makes chemicals compliance hard
Major accident hazard obligations
MSIHC Rules impose safety reports, on-site and off-site emergency plans, safety audits and notification duties on installations above threshold quantities.
Multiple licensing authorities on one site
PESO for explosives and petroleum, SPCB for consents, factory inspectorate for licensing, and state fire services — each with independent conditions.
Zero liquid discharge expectations
Effluent obligations in chemical clusters have moved beyond standards toward ZLD, with continuous monitoring connected to SPCB servers.
Import and transport controls
Restricted chemicals under DGFT, transport rules for hazardous goods, and the emerging chemical management framework add layers.

Use cases
How teams in this sector use Regulens
Threshold quantity monitoring
Track stored quantities against MSIHC thresholds so obligations trigger before an inspection identifies them.
Multi-authority licence register
PESO, SPCB, factory and fire licences for every site with conditions and renewal lead times in one place.
Chemical QCO applicability
Map the widening list of chemical QCOs to your product and raw material master.
Occupier exposure register
Make personal criminal exposure visible to the individuals who carry it, per site and per obligation.
“The occupier at one of our sites did not know which specific obligations carried imprisonment exposure for him personally. That seemed like something he should know.”
