Chemical Regulation and Food Safety

We have the multidisciplinary expertise to tackle your toughest industrial chemical challenges.

Exponent has worked with a range of manufacturers, distributors, and multinational companies from every corner of the chemical industry — assessing everything from the science behind lubricant additives and flame retardants to rare earth metals, cleaning agents, and printer inks — helping to support regulatory compliance and safer, healthier, and more sustainable products.

Applying our expertise in polymers, monomers, surfactants, catalysts, pesticide inerts and intermediates, solvents, amines, acetals, vinyl esters, Exponent's chemists, toxicologists, and regulatory experts evaluate industrial chemicals used both in industrial production processes as well as consumer products, especially those in household goods and cleaning supplies.

In the United States, industrial chemicals, including those used in consumer products, are governed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); in Canada, under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA); and, in the EU and U.K., under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulations.

Capabilities

Our multidisciplinary teams provide the rigorous technical and regulatory support needed to help companies meet TSCA, CEPA, and REACH obligations as well as other regulatory frameworks.

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.

The U.K. version of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) scheme requires companies supplying, purchasing and transporting substances, mixtures, or articles to and from the EU, European Economic Area (EEA), Northern Ireland, and Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) at one or more tonnes per year, to register those substances with the U.K. Agency to ensure compliance — and Exponent delivers robust support to help you comply with your responsibilities under the U.K. REACH scheme at every stage.
