# Chemical Registration ## Overview Chemical registration refers to the process of recording and documenting information about chemical substances, including their composition, properties, hazards, and uses. This process is important for various purposes, including regulatory compliance, safety, research, and product development. Labii offers a ready-made [chemical registration](https://www.labii.com/chemical-registration) solution, allowing you to gather comprehensive data concerning a chemical's physical and chemical characteristics, toxicity, health risks, environmental impacts, safe handling protocols, and additional information. Moreover, you have the flexibility to tailor it to align with the unique requirements of various countries and regions.
## Requirements * [Install **Chemical Registration** application](/admin-guide/applications.md#add-from-a-template). ## 1. Add a chemical [Registering a new chemical](/user-guide/add-record.md) is as simple as clicking the "**Add Chemical**" button. Fill in the name and any other required information. You can leave the chemical information empty, as Labii is capable of generating this information automatically. ## 2. Chemical information Once added, Labii will automatically generate chemical information, which includes synonyms, CAS numbers, molecular formula, molecular weight, and chemical structure. You may find multiple entries for synonyms and CAS numbers, so please manually remove any unnecessary ones.
## 3. Safety information If safety information has not been provided in step 1, you have the option to update safety details for fields such as Hazard statements, Precautions, Hazard category, and GHS image. ## 4. Chemical structure In addition to the chemical structure generated from SMILES, you can utilize a [chemical drawing widget](/widgets/section-widgets/chemistry/chemical-drawing.md) for displaying and editing chemical structures. These widgets are compatible with all common chemical formats and offer features like substructure search and similarity search. ## 5. Safety date sheet (SDS) For efficient tracking, you have the option to upload an SDS document. Labii employs the [Files widget](/widgets/section-widgets/office/file.md) to store SDS files. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.labii.com/applications/inventory-management/chemical-registration.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
