Federal Act
on Protection against Dangerous Substances and Preparations
(Chemicals Act, ChemA)

¹ In­form­a­tion shall be treated as con­fid­en­tial if its dis­clos­ure would be det­ri­ment­al to an in­terest deemed worthy of pro­tec­tion. In par­tic­u­lar, one such in­terest is that of man­u­fac­tur­ers in the pre­ser­va­tion of their com­mer­cial and in­dus­tri­al secrets.

² The Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall define the types of in­form­a­tion for which pre­ser­va­tion of secrecy can­not be as­ser­ted to be an in­terest deemed worthy of pro­tec­tion.
