Chemical Inventory List
Page Updated January 2008
To comply with the Emergency Planning Community Right-To-Know
Act (EPCRA), mandated by Federal law, all chemicals on the Oklahoma State University
campus must be inventoried. The law requires that the local fire department be informed of
the types, quantities, and locations of these chemicals. To accomplish this task, the
Chemical Inventory List (CIL) was developed.
The CIL requires detailed information concerning the
