This page is specifically designed for those companies wishing to register a product in the Colour Index™.

The SDC rely on registrants to ensure the database content is factually correct. The SDC check each new registration closely and of course use the information you, as manufacturers submitting new registrations, provide to ensure correct information for those who subscribe. We are continually updating old information to ensure it remains correct and this ongoing task is a key priority for the SDC.

We ask you to take your time filling out these forms and making sure that you carefully read the notes and use the correct forms for the products you are registering. Please try to give us as much information as possible and that the fields marked with an asterisk* are filled in otherwise your registration will be delayed.

The forms are designed for companies registering either dyes or pigment and solvent dyes and you will find separate sections for each.

Please use the correct form for submitting your product to the Colour Index™. Each product requires a seperate registration form. The 2 forms available are:

Registering a Dye

  1. For products that you feel are unique and should be granted a new Colour Index™ Generic Name.
  2. For products that have already been registered in the Colour Index™ by another company and so will not be given a unique Colour Index™ Generic Name.

While filling out the forms please read the attached notes to help with ensuring that the registration runs as smoothly as possible.

If you are registering for a new Colour Index™ Generic Name please ensure that you indicate whether this product structure should be kept confidential as the SDC cannot be held liable for disclosing such information if this is not indicated on the form.

Thank you for registering your products with the Colour Index™ and keeping it as the premium listing of colouring matter in the world.
