Common Mistake: Selecting the wrong database entry

Your chemical manufacturer name or chemical name spelling might differ from the entry in The BHive database. E.g.:

  • Dyestuffs: Color name in local language 
    • Make sure you select the English Name 
  • Chemical supplier name: Local production entity
    • Check for head office name and add your local production entity under “Supplier”
  • Spelling Mistakes
    • Double check the spelling to ensure you select the right chemical  

TIP 1: If you have access to ZDHC Gateway you can also search for chemicals using the PID  

TIP 2: You can also check the compliance status prior to upload on The BHive APP or on the Database search

 

Check your compliance

The BHive Platform - Analytics

  1. Open your Dashboard
    • Note: The label “Unverified” does not imply that chemicals contain hazardous substances. It shows that there is no verification of ZDHC MRSL compliance in the system.
    • Under Analytics & Report find your inventory data and download inventories in different formats (e.g. xls, pdf)
  2. Open your Inventories
    • Under the Chemical Inventory Overview Filter for compliance and brand-related production
    • You can indicate which chemicals are used for your customer production under “Used for Customer”. In adding batch related data, you can also filter your performance by customer specific production
  3. Chemical Inventories - Analytics
    • View your Inventory Analytics: Select the standard or customer requirements, according to which you would like to analyse your chemical inventory.
    • View your Inventory Analytics: If you generate InCheck on The BHive, you can also choose to see your performance based on both Gateway (ZDHC MRSL Gateway) and The BHive data (ZDHC MRSL crowd-sources) if you select the piechart ZDHC MRSL (crowd-sourced) + ZDHC MRSL (Gateway)
    • View your Overall Analytics: Under ”My Analytics” - “Chemical Information” you will find a list of the chemicals and chemical suppliers that are unverified and used most in your production. This way you can connect with chemical suppliers effectively and efficiently.
