Try it free. No credit card, and no demo request.
Sphera is an EHS, sustainability and product stewardship software company. Instead of a demo, start with a question your team needs answered. Is CAS 117-81-7 an SVHC? What is its harmonised classification? Is it restricted in the UK and the US too? RegAffairs AI returns a cited answer you can check and forward.
Why teams look for a Sphera alternative
A substance lookup should leave you with an answer and its evidence. RegAffairs AI gives your team:
- An answer to today's question, without a demo or a rollout.
- A public per-user price to put in a budget request.
- The regulator's own text to forward to a manager, a customer or an auditor.
- One tool for chemicals, cosmetics, food, pesticides and pharma questions.

Cited to the regulator's own text
Type the question in plain language. The agent searches the official registers: the ECHA Candidate List, REACH Annex XIV and XVII, the C&L inventory, CLH opinions, CosIng, the EU food additives database, the EU pesticides database, TSCA, UK REACH and KKDIK. Each citation opens the stored source document, and the research trail sits beside the answer.
Try a precise question: "What is the harmonised CLP classification of formaldehyde, and which ATP introduced it?" Read the answer, open its citations and follow the research steps.
Check the regulatory facts behind your Sphera SDS
An SDS from Sphera Intelligent Authoring, or a file your team already keeps, still depends on regulatory lookups. Ask about the classification or restriction behind an entry, then open the cited source.
| SDS section | The question you check | Where the answer comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 2, hazards | What is the harmonised CLP classification of formaldehyde, and which ATP added it? | CLP Annex VI, the ATP regulation |
| 3, composition | Is the substance an SVHC? Does it have specific concentration limits? | ECHA Candidate List, CLP Annex VI |
| 8, exposure controls | What are the exposure limits for toluene in the EU, Germany and the UK? | EU limit directives, BAuA and GESTIS, HSE |
| 15, regulatory information | Is it in REACH Annex XIV or XVII, on a national list, under TSCA or UK REACH? | REACH annexes, national registers, EPA, HSE |

One question can cover three regimes: is DEHP restricted under REACH Annex XVII, UK REACH and TSCA, and how do the rules differ? The answer cites each regime it finds. Ask in your own language and the answer comes back in it.
