Service background

The U.S. Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) was promulgated in 1976, which comprehensively considers the environmental, economic and social impacts of chemical substances circulating in the United States and prevents "unreasonable risks" to human health and the environment. At present, TSCA has become an important regulation for the effective management of chemical substances in the United States. For companies whose products are exported to the United States that fall into the TSCA-regulated category, TSCA compliance is a prerequisite for normal trade.

These hazardous substances can accumulate in the environment over time and are potentially risky. In January 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule for 5 persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), banning 5 substances under certain circumstances use and set effective dates for relevant bans to reduce the risk of exposure to 5 persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals.
