Sustainability has become an important gateway to global commerce. To engage in international trade, companies must comply with a host of regulatory requirements regarding the safe and environmentally sound use of chemicals. These regulations are enormously complex and far-reaching, as virtually every product from cookware to cleansers is made with some type of chemical. Voluntary initiatives like "product stewardship" are based on similar principles. These programs impact the entire product lifecycle and supply chain—from manufacturing, to packaging and distribution, to product use and eventual disposal.

ENTRIX has a multi-disciplinary team of Product Safety & Compliance experts on staff to provide our clients with the comprehensive services necessary to meet the requirements of these programs. We have senior scientific experts in:

• Product Stewardship
• Product Chemistry and Physical Property Assessments
• Mammalian and Ecological Toxicology
• Environmental Fate Chemistry
• Industrial Hygiene
• Classification and Labeling
• Safety Assessments and Risk Characterization
• Regulatory Registrations

Through extensive education, research and years of experience in the chemical industry, our team can guide companies through the maze of global chemical regulations and voluntary industry initiatives to meet the requirements of these programs. At ENTRIX, we positively position our clients among the industry leaders in the safe and environmentally responsible use of chemicals, which results in sustainable business practices. Equally important, ENTRIX helps clients avoid the unfortunate pitfalls of non-compliance, from market delays to costly litigation. The reality is regulation is here to stay—and companies that become early adopters of these mandates will be in the best position to preserve valuable margins and capture additional market share.

ENTRIX is well-versed and expertly trained to help clients meet compliance with the following regulations and voluntary programs:

• European Union Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACh)
• EU Biocides Directive
• EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) directive
• United States Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
• US Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard
• Global Harmonized System (GHS)
• Global Product Strategy (GPS)
• Product Stewardship under Responsible Care®
• Green Chemistry Initiatives
• Endocrine Disruptor Screening & Assessments

Our professionals have experience working with clients to develop comprehensive global product safety and compliance strategies as well as assisting with individual components of compliance requirements. We can easily integrate our expertise within an existing client team as well as work with companies looking to outsource these services entirely.
