Intertek Expands Chemical Regulatory Services in the United States to Support Customers Affected by the recent TSCA Reform
November 18 2016 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
The evolution of TSCA requires companies to develop and
revise scientific and regulatory strategies
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, announced the further expansion of chemical
regulatory services in the United States with the expansion of its
Health, Environmental and Regulatory Services (HERS) department in
the District of Columbia to address companies’ needs resulting from
the recently signed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reform.
International chemical companies and their suppliers recognize
the importance of accessing the global marketplace. The regulatory
expertise delivered through HERS’ new D.C. office will complement
Intertek’s existing global chemical, biocide and agrochemical
regulatory services in the Americas region. For customers located
within the United States and neighboring markets, the expansion
will provide the local regulatory and assurance services integral
to supporting their global chemical notification strategies and
enabling global market access.
The increasing demand for safer products has signaled an
increase in more robust chemical management from the chemical
industry. “The long awaited Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for
the 21st Century Act (LCSA) amending the Toxic Substance Control
Act (TSCA) gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more
effective federal oversight of chemicals and aims to give Americans
greater confidence that chemicals in commerce are being used
safely,” states Dr. Rose Passarella, Senior Scientific Regulatory
Manager at Intertek . “Both American and global chemical companies
must develop scientific and strategic regulatory plans and
facilitate communication up and down their supply chain. Intertek
offers practical solutions to the maze of changes coming toward
you. Based on your specific situation and position in the supply
chain, Intertek offers an effective action plan and can help in
getting your tasks completed.”
Intertek will be offering a complimentary webinar on 29 November
2016 to address the changing chemical regulatory environment, as
well as to help companies understand and anticipate the impacts of
these changes and other regulatory developments. Dr. Passarella,
will provide insights gained as a result of her extensive chemical
and legal background and through work with government and industry
associations such as the American Chemistry Council (ACC). She will
discuss the new TSCA regulations, the impact these changes have on
industry, and what must be monitored as companies adjust in order
to optimize their competitive position. To register for this
