ECHA CHEM is the European Chemicals Agency’s platform for information on substances placed on the EU market. It publishes information from REACH registration dossiers filed with the agency, together with classification and labelling entries and cross-references to other EU regulatory regimes.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Partly open Free credential-free access was observed against the platform’s public substance interface, which returned complete substance records without any account. The rendered interface itself is a client-side application and was not exercised, so no claim is made about its on-screen filters, exports or any CAPTCHA. The agency’s main site refused automated requests behind a web application firewall, which is a bot filter rather than an outage.
Assessment
Strengths
The dossiers are filed with the agency itself, so for the registration this is genuinely the source of record rather than a publication layer over someone else’s register.
Free access without any account was observed directly against the public substance interface, which makes checks reproducible.
One substance record carries the registration status alongside classification entries and cross-references to other EU regimes, so related obligations are visible together.
Limitations
Registration is a filing duty, not a permission. The registrant asserts the data and bears responsibility for it, and the agency does not thereby verify the dossier.
The platform reflects rather than constitutes the other lists shown on a substance page, such as harmonised classification, which originates in EU legal acts adopted elsewhere.
Migration from the agency’s older chemical search pages is still in progress, so for some purposes both surfaces may still need consulting.
Submission guidance
Records are created through incorporation, registration, filing, or statutory processes.

Best for
Checking whether a substance has been registered under the EU chemicals regulation and reading the information published from its dossier.
Finding a substance’s harmonised or notified classification and the EU regulatory regimes it falls under.
Not recommended for
Treating registration as approval. The agency does not thereby declare a substance safe, and it checks only a proportion of dossiers.
Reading absence as illegality, since low-volume substances, polymers and other exempt categories are not registrable at all.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

How the PetroHrys Score was reached
Editorial trust 15%
10 / 10How far the entries a directory publishes can be relied on as accurate.
Business usefulness 15%
8 / 10How much practical use a listing there is to the business being listed.
Verification quality 12%
9 / 10How thoroughly the directory establishes that an entry is genuine before publishing it.
Platform reputation 10%
9 / 10How the platform is regarded in its field. Deliberately not a popularity, traffic or recognition measure.
Spam resistance 10%
10 / 10How well the directory keeps low-quality and promotional entries out.
Industry importance 10%
9 / 10How central the directory is to its sector, independently of how useful one listing is.
Long-term stability 10%
8 / 10How likely the directory is to still exist, and to still carry the entry, years from now.
Submission quality 8%
5 / 10What the submission process asks for and how workable it is for the business submitting.
Transparency 5%
9 / 10How openly the directory states its rules, costs and criteria.
Moderation quality 5%
8 / 10How the directory maintains entries after publication.
The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
