Webinar: Introducing Eurofins Chem-ST, a novel alternative to RSL testing for sustainable supply chains

Your industry, our focus

 

The standard way to achieve chemical compliance for Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs) is to take a targeted snapshot of the product value chain. Eurofins Chem-ST chemical smart testing is different. Unlike other services, Chem-ST can be used to assess the whole value chain, from chemical suppliers to finished goods vendors as part of a move to adopt more sustainable chemical practices.

This is ideal for customers seeking chemical detection to cleanse their supply chain of all potentially harmful chemicals, providing benefits beyond compliance and reducing the risk of supply chain employees being exposed to these chemicals.

As a proprietary programme, which doesn’t just look at a defined subset of restricted substances in a single comprehensive test package, Chem-ST covers additional chemicals of concern that are not currently restricted.

In this one-hour webinar, our sustainable chemistry experts cover:

  • What sustainable chemistry is and why it matters
  • An understanding of the changing global regulatory landscape surrounding hazardous chemicals
  • How RSL testing is usually performed
  • An understanding of Eurofins’ novel Chem-ST service
  • The significant benefits of Chem-ST over standard RSL testing, including; decreased costs, faster turnaround time and increased chemical visibility for current and future regulations
  • Q&A
