At Dell Tech, we specialize in hazard classification for both workplace and consumer chemical products. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory delivers precise, validated testing to help manufacturers, importers, and distributors meet safety standards across Canada and the United States. Whether your product is sold in retail stores, shipped across borders, or listed online through marketplaces like Amazon, we ensure it is correctly classified, labeled, and compliant with regional laws.
Chemical products sold to consumers must be tested and classified for physical and health hazards before being marketed. Regulatory bodies such as Health Canada, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) require specific testing and documentation to prevent consumer harm and reduce legal risk.
Proper classification supports safe labeling, SDS development, VOC reporting, and platform-specific requirements like Amazon’s chemical product compliance. Errors in classification can result in costly recalls, shipping violations, and regulatory penalties. Dell Tech helps companies mitigate those risks by delivering accurate results and documentation that stands up to inspection.
Our in-house laboratory is fully ISO 17025 accredited and equipped to perform validated hazard classification testing for consumer and workplace products. We work with clients at all stages of the product lifecycle, from R&D through product launch, ensuring that hazard data is reliable, repeatable, and supported by scientific evidence.
We tailor each test plan to align with your distribution region, product category, and regulatory obligations in Canada and the U.S.
Hazard classification is one piece of a larger compliance process. Dell Tech supports you beyond the lab by integrating hazard test results into your SDS and label authoring, Amazon product registration, ingredient disclosure documentation, and VOC reporting. Our multidisciplinary team ensures your products meet the legal requirements for each region you operate in.
Our clients choose Dell Tech because we combine scientific precision with regulatory experience. Our team collaborates with manufacturers, distributors, and regulatory agencies to streamline testing, documentation, and classification. Every result is supported by audit-ready documentation and expert interpretation.
Evaluation of flash point and flammability potential under consumer safety standards. Required for shipping and labeling under TDG, DOT, and IATA.
Specialized testing of spray characteristics, flame projection, and ignition behavior to meet CCCR 2001 and CPSC standards.
Assessment of skin, eye, and metal corrosivity using ISO and OECD methods. Required for both SDS authoring and GHS classification.

Hazard classification identifies the physical and health risks of a chemical product so it can be safely labeled, shipped, and used. For consumer products, it determines how your product is regulated under CCCR in Canada and by the CPSC in the United States. Dell Tech uses standardized testing and regulatory review to ensure accuracy.
Yes, if the SDS was generated without validated testing or region-specific regulatory input. Many SDS documents are created using generalized data or supplier information. Dell Tech confirms classification through laboratory testing and aligns the data with Canadian and U.S. regulations.
Amazon requires compliance documentation for chemical and hazardous products. Incorrect or missing classification data can lead to product removal or account suspension. Dell Tech ensures your SDS, labels, and classification data meet Amazon’s platform rules and regulatory requirements.
Yes. Canada and the U.S. both follow the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), but each country has its own implementation. Canada uses WHMIS 2015 and CCCR for consumer products, while the U.S. follows OSHA HazCom and CPSC regulations. Dell Tech understands the distinctions and ensures your product is compliant in both markets.
Misclassification can lead to shipment delays, product recalls, consumer injury, and legal penalties. It can also affect your ability to sell through platforms like Amazon or cross the U.S. and Canadian borders. Dell Tech identifies issues before they become liabilities.
Yes. Once classification is complete, we assist with GHS-compliant label creation and ingredient disclosure formatting. This includes support for Amazon labels, bilingual labels for Canada, and VOC content labeling for regional compliance.
We do not offer physical VOC testing but we can calculate the VOC quantity in your product based on the formulation. VOC content is not typically included in hazard classification but is often required for consumer product compliance, especially for retail sale in California, New York, and Canada. Dell Tech combines these services for full compliance support.
