Systems, methods and computer program products determine compliance of a chemical product to be manufactured to government regulations that govern the manufactured product.

The chemical compositions so ascertained are compared to a stored set of government regulatory standards related to the chemical compositions to determine compliance. Accordingly, compliance with complex government regulations governing chemical products can be determined.
