Accurate Testing for U.S. Product Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Hazard Classification Services for U.S. Consumer Chemical Products

Dell Tech provides accredited hazard classification services for chemical consumer products sold in the United States. We help manufacturers, importers, and distributors navigate the complex requirements of CPSC, FHSA, and Amazon. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory performs validated testing for flammables, corrosives, and other key hazards to ensure your product is safe, compliant, and ready for distribution.

Why Hazard Classification is Required in the U.S.

Hazard classification is a legal requirement for chemical products under multiple U.S. regulations. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) oversees labeling and safety for consumer products such as household chemicals. The Federal Hazardous Substances ACt outlines the classification and labeling requirements for hazardous chemical consumer products. These regulations are different than GHS, HCS 2012/2024, and Canadian chemical consumer regulations.

A single misclassified product can trigger shipping delays, customer harm, legal penalties, or Amazon delisting. Dell Tech helps you prevent these risks by delivering reliable hazard classifications backed by scientific evidence and regulatory expertise.
