The ZDHC Foundation has outsourced its InCheck benchmarking service to third-parties as it looks to accelerate roll-out of the tool and offer it at a more competitive price.
The service was launched in 2018 as a performance tool to benchmark the ZDHC MRSL conformance of supplier chemical inventories. It is an inventory report that provides an overall score of ZDHC MRSL conformance for all chemical products in the inventory and also indicates improvements that can be made.
After an initial pilot and two year learning period, ZDHC says it has refined the delivery of the service and improved its technology to drive the ability to scale InCheck reports globally.
Initially, the ZDHC InCheck – now known as ZDHC Performance InCheck – could only be distributed via a subscription on the ZDHC Gateway. From 9 June, the service will be exclusively delivered by Approved Solution Providers.
Suppliers who wish to subscribe to ZDHC Performance InCheck are still required to create a free account on the ZDHC Gateway as the first step and then select their preferred Approved Solution Provider. ZDHC has piloted this service with two Approved Solution Providers – CleanChain and BVe3.
ZDHC Performance InCheck reports are produced exclusively by ZDHC Gateway and are delivered automatically in PDF format by the Approved Solution Providers who are connected to ZDHC Gateway.

By GlobalData“Simply put, this is necessary to accelerate the roll-out of this valuable tool and offer our Performance InCheck service at a competitive price,” says ZDHC. “To do this, we invite credible third-party solution providers to participate in an approval process and to make our ZDHC Performance InCheck tool part of their service offering.”
All approved providers will create a standardised ZDHC Performance InCheck report, generated via the ZDHC Gateway. This ensures supplier performance is accurately reflected, independently from the choice of Approved Solution Provider. The approval process is open now for applications from additional interested third parties who may qualify to provide this service.
ZDHC says all Performance InCheck PDF reports are stored in the ZDHC Gateway and accessed easily via the supplier profile, and suppliers with ZDHC Performance InCheck available are flagged on ZDHC Gateway.
