North American Regulatory Support for Industrial Chemicals

Develop safe, compliant chemical products for U.S. and Canadian markets

Failing to meet established chemical regulatory requirements — which vary greatly between countries and states — can disrupt production plans, decrease market share, and reduce consumer confidence. Exponent has extensive experience providing strategic advice for North American regulatory compliance to chemical manufacturers, pesticide registrants, grower and commodity groups, and trade associations.

How can Exponent help you navigate the complex regulatory landscape for industrial chemicals in North America?

Meeting regulatory compliance for industrial chemicals is arguably the most important and challenging aspect of product development and updates, requiring a strategic, multidisciplinary approach. Exponent's highly qualified team of chemical regulatory professionals, toxicologists, polymer scientists, ecologists, material chemists, and more provide unparalleled, integrative support for a range of industrial chemical regulations throughout North America.

In the U.S., our experienced consultants assist clients in achieving compliance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA); and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). We also provide state-by-state support — including advising on California's Proposition 65 and other requirements. And in Canada, our team is well-versed in regulatory mandates from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

Capabilities

Exponent's multidisciplinary expertise and decades of regulatory experience in North America can help you meet your unique industrial chemical compliance needs.

In 2016, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act was signed into law, effectively amending the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 and revising the Existing Chemicals Program with additional chemical risk assessment requirements. Exponent's consultants provide hazard, exposure, and risk analyses, assessment of available data, data gap analysis, and preparation of data summaries for submission to EPA, among other services, to help you meet and exceed current standards.
Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, the EPA has introduced programs to assess and mitigate risks to human health or the environment posed by "existing chemicals" and Risk Evaluation chemicals.
