October 30, 2025

Update

The ZDHC Gateway will introduce the following changes with effect from several updates on 1 December 2025.

  • No new Provisionally Progressive assignments:
    The assignment of new formulations that are ZDHC MRSL Level 2 or 3 as Chemicals to Zero – Provisionally Progressive (CtZ-PP) will be discontinued. Those formulations which are currently Chemicals to Zero - Provisionally Progressive in the Gateway will remain unchanged.
  • All new certifications will align with CtZ- Foundational:
    ZDHC Approved MRSL Certifiers
    will be able to push formulations only at the Chemicals to Zero – Foundational Level.

  • Self-declaration options removed:
    The Bulk Self-Declaration tab and the individual Self-Declaration option will be discontinued. Products with unsigned self-declarations will remain at CtZ- Foundational.

Please note that the ChemCheck and InCheck reports will still reflect current Chemicals to Zero Conformance Levels.
