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.
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.
Our laboratory is ISO 17025 accredited and operates according to validated methods recognized by U.S. federal agencies. We perform testing that aligns with CPSC requirements. Whether you are launching a new product, reformulating an existing one, or expanding your product into U.S. retail or online channels, our team ensures your hazard classifications meet federal expectations.
Hazard classification data feeds directly into required documentation for U.S. regulatory programs. Dell Tech supports:
• SDS authoring for U.S. workplace use
• Consumer chemical labeling for CPSC compliance
