Global Chemical Compliance Solutions
Global chemical compliance isn’t easy. Between shifting regulations, complex cross-border rules, and overwhelming documentation, businesses often feel like they’re chasing a moving target.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We help businesses do the right chemical compliance, so they can focus on growth, innovation, and their customers.
Why Chemical Compliance Matters
Chemical regulations like EU REACH, US TSCA, and China’s MEE Order 12 are intensifying. A single misstep can cost millions in fines, product recalls, and reputational damage.
- EU REACH added over 230 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) by 2023.
- US TSCA fines reached $14.6 million in Q3 2023 alone.
- APAC regulators (China, Japan, Korea) have significantly increased compliance checks.
Avoid becoming another statistic. Learn how to manage compliance effectively.
Common Challenges Businesses Face
- Constant Regulatory Updates: Regulations across regions, from PFAS restrictions in the US (United States) to new CLP hazard classes in Europe, are continuously evolving.
- Cross-Border Complexity: A chemical that is legal in one country might be banned in another, turning global sales into a risky game.
- Paperwork Overload: Manual handling of SDSs (Safety Data Sheets), registration dossiers, and hazard labels can quickly lead to costly errors.
- Limited Expertise: Smaller firms often rely on teams without specialized compliance knowledge, risking critical oversight.
Do any of these challenges sound familiar?
We’re here to help you bridge those gaps seamlessly.
What You Need to Know by Region
United States (TSCA):
- Increasing scrutiny on new chemical substances. Not submitting a Premanufacture Notice (PMN) can result in fines over $300,000.
- Stronger enforcement at customs means products lacking TSCA certification are often blocked.
European Union (REACH & CLP):
- Massive new restrictions on PFAS are impacting thousands of chemicals.
- Updated CLP regulation adding new hazard categories, compliance is required by 2025.
United Kingdom (UK REACH):
- Extended registration deadlines (2026–2030), but preparation must start now.
- The UK is developing a streamlined approach, but compliance remains mandatory.
Asia-Pacific:
- China’s strict enforcement of MEE Order 12 requires timely registration.
- Japan and South Korea are intensifying checks, notably on hazardous substances.

Real Risks – Real Consequences
Here’s what happens when compliance slips: A company shipping chemical cleaning solutions to Europe faced significant delays at customs because of minor levels of formaldehyde, a widely used preservative in cleaning agents. Although present in trace amounts and not prominently advertised, formaldehyde is strictly regulated under REACH and the CLP regulations. The shipment was blocked due to inadequate labeling and incomplete documentation regarding formaldehyde’s concentration, ultimately causing weeks of delays, additional testing costs, and customer dissatisfaction.
