New Chemical Registration
Compliance with various chemical registration and control laws is crutial, yet often overlooked or not well-understood. Non-compliance can lead to expensive fines, delays to market or damage to your corporate reputation and image. Whether your intended market is the United States or China, some of the largest marketplaces in the world now have chemical control laws requiring evaluation and registration of new chemical substances (e.g. TSCA or IECSC, respectively). ChemOne Compliance can assist your company in expanding into these markets by assessing the need for registration and, if necessary, managing these new chemical registrations.
Material registrations can range from coordinating the testing and assessment of new chemical substances to filling out the appropriate notification forms and auditing such compliance programs, so that your company can confidently engage these new markets in a timely manner.
