The problem: the same substance treated as different ingredients
The same substance from different suppliers can slip past a regulatory check if it isn't matched. Missing CAS numbers make the gap worse.
Each supplier's version of a substance gets its own raw material record. If the rule is tied to one record, the others pass unchecked, and if a supplier's data is missing a CAS number, the substance may not be matched at all.
What this demo shows
- Match the substance by CAS number across suppliers.
- Apply regulations to every source.
- Close the gap when a supplier's data is missing a CAS number.
Why it matters
Regulations apply to substances, not to supplier codes. Matching by CAS number means one rule covers the substance from any source, including suppliers added later.
Linking the occasional record without a CAS number closes the gap that would otherwise let a restricted substance through on a technicality.

Uncountable is where coatings teams build their formulas. A supply problem brings in a second source anti-skinning agent, a new trade name for the same substance. Its CAS number matches the EU rule, so the recipe checks it against the same limit with no new rule to enter. A third supplier's agent has no CAS number on file.
The regulatory team links it to the same rule one time. Now the recipe finds the rule for it too and checks it against the same limit. One substance, any supplier.
