How to Navigate the VOC Dashboard

How to Navigate the VOC Dashboard


CleanChain now includes the new VOC Dashboards, This dashboard is available to users with Premium Plus Subscription and any facility that has purchased VOC Reporting add-on, effective from April 1, 2026.


VOC Dashboard

In this dashboard, users can extract a report that shows the Potential to Emit (PTE) based on the products used and their chemical ingredients during a selected inventory period. The report includes the percentage of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are organic chemicals that easily evaporate into the air and may contribute to environmental and health impacts. Using data from uploaded Safety Data Sheets (SDS), the system classifies VOCs according to US EPA CERCLIS, EU VOC regulations, and the ZDHC Good and Bad Solvents lists, where applicable. The report fulfills supplier air emissions requirements, which include the calculation of VOC Potential to Emit (PTE) and, the calculation and reporting of annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Maximum VOC percentage values are derived from the SDS and evaluated against these regulatory references to ensure proper classification and compliance. The Potential to Emit (PTE) is calculated using the following formula:




The generated report is filtered based on a user-defined date range, ensuring that only data within the specified inventory period is included. 

Additionally, the report contains facility inventory data to support annual submissions to the ZDHC Air Emissions Module, which is accessible via the ZDHC Supplier Platform.

As you navigate the dashboard, you can quickly view total emissions, identify which materials contribute the most, and access detailed breakdowns to support reporting and compliance requirements. Follow the steps below to get started:


1.    Select Dashboard > VOC Air Emissions

 

2.     Tick the box to include chemicals from the selected classification lists.

 

 

3.     Pick the date range for the inventory period then, click Apply.

 



 

4.     Select the SDS Source.
·       Uploaded by the facility – SDS files uploaded directly by your facility or by the account linked to your facility.
·       Any SDS in the CleanChain Library - SDS files uploaded by any facility or user within the platform.

 

5.     Select Scope.
·      All Products – Shows every product in your inventory, including those with 0 kg recorded (i.e., products not currently in stock but still part of your inventory list).
·      All Products with Inventory– Shows only products that currently have stock (greater than 0 kg).
·      All SDS– Shows all products that have an SDS available, regardless of stock level.
·      \SDS with VOC– Shows only products that have an SDS and contain VOCs as classified by US EPA CERCLIS, EU VOC regulations, and the ZDHC Good and Bad Solvents lists.

6.     View Results and Extract Results
a.     View result according to the selected criteria:
      i.         Click. The results will refresh below based on the criteria you selected.

      
The chart on the left shows the percentage of products classified as VOC (Organic chemicals that easily evaporate in the air e.g., acetone, formaldehyde, etc.), non‑VOC (chemicals that are not considered volatile under EPA rules e.g., methane, ethane, etc.), or unknown, while the chart on the right displays the percentage of products identified as good and bad solvents according to the ZDHC, based on the results from the selected criteria.

b.     Export Excel Report
       i.         Clickto generate a report based on the selected criteria.
      ii.         Click onto refresh the report's status. 
      iii.         Rename the Report Title and save changes by clicking .
      iv.         Click  to download the report.

      v.         Reload the filters by clicking .
      vi.       To delete the generated report, click .

      

c.   Add Data to ZDHC Air Emission Module
      Below are the Air Emission guidelines you can refer to for ensuring compliance with environmental standards and regulatory requirements. Click here for more details.

   
          
     
      i.         Login to the ZDHC Air Emission Guidelines Portal.

            

       ii.        Enter Chemical formulation using the data from the generated VOC Excel report.

            
       iii.      Then, click Save Chemical Formulation.

            
      iv.   Review the data to set or update VOC reduction goals and repeat the process at least annually.
