First Claim
1. A method of deriving chemical compositions that are present in a chemical product to be manufactured, comprising the following steps that are performed in a data processing system:
- obtaining a bill of material comprising components to manufacture the chemical product;
ascertaining whether any of the components comprises subcomponents;
replacing any components comprising subcomponents with the subcomponents in a revised bill of material; and
determining at least one product of a reaction between at least two of the components and subcomponents, the at least one reaction product being present in the manufactured chemical product; and
generating a regulatory bill of material comprising information about the at least one reaction product and any unreacted components and subcomponents.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for deriving chemical compositions that are present in a chemical product to be manufactured and for determining whether the chemical product complies with government regulations. A method can comprise obtaining a bill of material including components to manufacture the chemical product; ascertaining whether any of the components includes subcomponents; replacing any components including subcomponents with the subcomponents in a revised bill of material; and deriving from the revised bill of material the chemical compositions present in the manufactured chemical product. In some embodiments, the derived chemical compositions can be compared to a stored set of government regulatory standards relating to the chemical compositions to determine compliance.
