The ZDHC Chemical Management System outlines the minimum expectations for a Chemical Management System at a manufacturing facility in alignment with ZDHC’s mission, vision and solutions. It is the “What” of the ZDHC CMS and should be used by brands and a manufacturing facility’s top management to understand what systems are needed to manage chemicals used and discharged from the manufacturing facility, without getting into the technical details. The ZDHC CMS Framework document works in conjunction with the ZDHC CMS Technical Industry Guide (TIG), which provides the technical guidelines.
