RISK OVERVIEW
Products, components, packaging, coatings, and raw materials may be subject to strict chemical restrictions, substance limits, disclosure duties, and environmental marketing requirements. Excessive levels of restricted substances, incomplete material declarations, or unsupported environmental claims can create significant regulatory, marketplace, recall, litigation, and reputational exposure. Key risk areas include: · REACH, RoHS, California Proposition 65, TSCA, and related chemical-control requirements · Excessive levels of lead, cadmium, phthalates, PFAS, and other restricted substances · False or unsupported claims concerning recyclability, biodegradability, sustainability, and carbon neutrality · Missing substance disclosures, supplier declarations, test reports, warnings, and technical documentation
OUR APPROACH
We review product materials, chemical declarations, supplier documents, laboratory reports, warning labels, environmental claims, and applicable regulatory requirements to identify material compliance gaps. Our analysis focuses on externally verifiable evidence and distinguishes legitimate environmental representations from claims that are unsupported, misleading, or inconsistent with product composition and regulatory records.
Regulatory Scope Mapping
Identify applicable chemical restrictions, substance thresholds, disclosure duties, labeling rules, and environmental marketing standards.
Material & Substance Review
Assess product composition, components, coatings, packaging, supplier declarations, and potential restricted-substance exposure.
Testing & Documentation Verification
Review laboratory reports, certificates, safety data, declarations of conformity, warning labels, and supporting technical records.
Environmental Claim Assessment
Evaluate recyclability, biodegradability, sustainability, low-toxicity, and carbon-neutral claims for accuracy, substantiation, and regulatory risk.
