Create an Inventory / List¶

Tip

An inventory is a list of chemicals and associated data. They can be produced by regulators across the world or internally by clients. Inventories in Active Steward can be searched to check what list a substance appears in Search Inventory By Substance.
The purpose of these lists are varied. Some examples are:

Lists for occupational exposure limits for a particular company (i.e. the limit that workers can be exposed to).
Regulatory lists by country/region - there may be actions that companies have to take if a substance is on a specific list.
Hazardous lists - There may be additional restrictions for chemicals on this list.
Company specific lists.

Notifications can be received when a new list is created or an existing one updated. The notifications are sent if the list contains a constituent in the current partition. To receive these the user must have the notifications enabled - see Notifications Guide for more information.

Warning

The Active Steward team maintain a series of lists that are distributed to all Active Steward systems. If the list to be added is a general list that may be of interest to others, please contact support@activesteward.com, and it can be added to the centrally managed database. Otherwise, the list added in this tutorial will only be added into this partition.
