Is "release" the perfect equivalent in English, better than "delivery"? [contrary to my first thought of "discharging" some chemicals]

supply
The regulation enacted in 1993 on prohibitions and restrictions on the marketing of dangerous substances, preparations and products under the Chemicals Act (Prohibited Chemicals Regulation – German designation: Chemikalien-Verbotsverordnung, ChemVerbotsV), currently valid in the version published on 13 June 2003 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 867), last amended by Article 5(40) of the Act of 24 February 2012 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 212), firstly governs prohibitions and restrictions on the marketing of specific substances, mixtures and products listed in an Annex. Secondly, it standardises general requirements to be observed when specific marketable substances and mixtures generally marked as chemicals are supplied to third parties, such as for example requirements regarding supplier expertise, keeping a supply log and distribution type (self-service, mail order).
These provisions, the core of which involves recording information on these substances in a supply log and a prohibition on mail order selling to private individuals, have been taken over by the more stringent provisions of Regulation (EU) No 98/2013, which inter alia prohibits the supply of five of the public and also prohibits the related importation, possession and use thereof. In the context of Regulation (EU) No 98/2013, the special provisions of the ChemVerbotsV now constitute the use of a national exemption power for these substances and therefore do not increase but rather reduce the protection of public safety from the misuse of these substances. Their exclusion from the scope of application of the supply provisions thus represents a tightening of the regulations applicable to them in Germany.

Note from asker:
Products "under the Chemicals Act", or better "referred to in the law on chemical substances"? |

: There is only one example at the Linguee link that uses this translation, and it has a quite different context. "Release" by itself also can mean spillage! (The latter could be clarifed by using instead "market release".)

D. I. Verrelli
: Translation is quite possible. Although context in the link is different: in the link, "transfer" means e.g. to pump from one piece of equipment to another. (However, that is not the only connotation of "transfer".)

Agree. Reference to “global” chemical manufacturing process led me to believe the context was broader than it really was. Even so, it still fits, imo

dispensing
"dispense" came to mind - (I live in Vancouver, where we have more marijuana dispensaries than walk-in clinics.)
"Opening of packages, transferring of contents, dispensing of chemicals or sampling shall not be conducted in or on top of a cabinet or a cupboard for storing chemicals unless it is specifically designed for this purpose and appropriate procedures and equipment are used."

Peer comment(s):

D. I. Verrelli
: "Dispense" ~ (i) to sell pharmaceuticals/similar; (ii) to portion out a small amount of a chemical. However, the context here appears to be quite different, per http://www.bmub.bund.de/fileadmin/Daten_BMU/Download_PDF/Ges...

it should cover it...
Note from asker:
I tend to agree with you, "distribution" seems to be the closest meaning in this context. |

D. I. Verrelli
: This seems very appropriate, subject only to the translation of Inverkehrbringen (very important; see discussion).

Discussion
"An EPP licence is required before regulated substances can be legitimately supplied to a member of the public."
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supplying-explosi...
If "Inverkehrbringen" is to be distinguished from "Abgabe" as they did here, I'd go with "supply."
It's in line with this explanation:
https://www.weingarten.ihk.de/innovation/Innovation_und_Tech...
Before someone wonders why I only suggested "distribute in commerce" for the U.S. version:
"'Distribute in commerce' or 'distribution in commerce' means to sell in
commerce, to import, to introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce, or to
hold for sale or distribution after introduction into commerce"
https://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2013/08/f2/2013-SE-33004...
As you can see, it's a very broad definition. Not entirely sure it covers "unentgeltliche Abgaben," but since it's not needed here, we can discuss this another time.
"but as per chemicals there may be some restrictions on how it is sold, to whom and how it is controlled (some of the substances may be dangerous or need to stay under control)"
German example:
"In der Geschäftsstelle der AMK gehen häufig Anfragen zur Abgabe von Chemikalien für nicht-arzneiliche Zwecke an Privatpersonen ein (zum Beispiel als Hobby-Bedarf, Verwendung in Lebensmitteln, Kosmetika): Die Apotheken sind häufig unsicher, ob eine bestimmte Chemikalie missbräuchlich (zum Beispiel für die unerlaubte Suchtstoff- oder Explosivstoff-Herstellung) verwendet werden kann und an eine Privatperson abgegeben werden darf."
https://www.abda.de/themen/arzneimittelsicherheit/amk/amk-na...
In the United States, you'll find it in the Toxic Substances Control Act:
"any person who manufactures (including imports), processes, or distributes in commerce a chemical substance or mixture"
https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-toxic-substance...
This is called "distribution (in commerce)." I don't think you'll get any freebies, but you may.
Abschnitt 3. Rules for submission?
I don't know this specific regulation, but as per chemicals there may be some restrictions on how it is sold, to whom and how it is controlled (some of the substances may be dangerous or need to stay under control)
Evidentally if "distributing" were used to translate Inverkehrbringen, then it puts a restriction on using it to also translate Abgabe.
