What is EPA registration and certification?
EPA registration and certification is the formal process by which products, substances, and chemicals are registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which reviews their environmental profile and assigns the approval needed to place them on the US market.
Why EPA registration matters
- Environmental protection: EPA registration evaluates a product's environmental impact and enforces the environmental-protection measures that follow. The environmental effects of chemicals are assessed and limits are set where needed.
- Human health: the EPA evaluates the impact of products on human health. Toxicological properties of chemical substances are reviewed and the exposure risk to people is calculated.
- Legal conformity: EPA registration and certification ensures conformity with the applicable regulations. The process must be completed before products can be placed on the US market legally.
- Market acceptance: products that carry EPA registration are regarded as more trustworthy by consumers and business buyers, which raises their market acceptance.
How EPA registration and certification is carried out
The following steps describe the registration workflow:
- Application: an application is filed with the EPA for the product or chemical in scope. The chemical composition, intended use, and manufacturing method are submitted as part of the application.
- Certification review: the EPA reviews the application and carries out the required certification-review steps. The environmental and human-health profile of the product is assessed.
- Corrective action: the applicant company is required to bring the product into conformity with the EPA's standards. Necessary corrections are implemented.
- Certificate issue: the EPA issues its registration decision for products judged to meet the requirements. The decision allows the product to be placed on the market.
EPA registration cost
The fee for EPA registration and certification depends on the product category, the size of the application, and the complexity of the dossier. Applicants pay according to the EPA's published fee policy. For detailed pricing, contact the EPA or your certification advisor with the full scope of the planned submission.
