The ChemTracker Consortium is a collaborative group of academic organizations, founded in 2001 by
Stanford University. In addition to providing access to the ChemTracker chemical tracking and
regulatory reporting system, the Consortium offers its members a forum for discussing regulatory
compliance "best practices", sharing of EH&S business strategies, and direction for
future system development. The Consortium also maintains databases of chemical properties, hazard
information, and regulatory classifications of materials for use by its members.
The ChemTracker system was originally developed at Stanford University to handle their large number
of material containers stored in over three million square feet of laboratory space, to maintain
chemical inventory for addressing environmental compliance issues. It is now in use by 9 academic
institutions and one commercial business, tracking over 390,000 individual containers, stored in
68,000 rooms in 2,200 buildings, owned by 1,700 chemical owners, accessed by 2,300 application users.
