The Chemicals in Products (CiP) Programme is a global initiative aimed at managing chemicals in products to ultimately reduce the risk to humans and the environment from these chemicals.
Virtually all manufactured articles today, from consumer goods to machinery and construction materials, have chemicals included or added to them to enhance the appearance or performance of the product. Impurities or by-products of the manufacturing process may be present as well. Most of these chemicals are benign, but many have known or suspected risks.
