Procedure Number CORP. 20, Assessment of New Suppliers

As discussed in The Inventory Chapter, 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires that all chemicals manufactured, processed, or used in the United States must be on a comprehensive list of chemicals maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to 8(b)of TSCA, called the TSCA Inventory. Before purchasing a chemical from a new supplier, the company needs to ascertain that the chemical is on the TSCA Inventory. [Pg.705]

While obtaining a certification of TSCA compliance from the supplier may be helpful, the best method is to ensure that the new supplier s material is in fact on the TSCA Inventory. The assessment to be made for new suppliers could be part of a general process change assessment. The important issue is to understand where process changes may occur in the company s processes, and to make certain those changes are adequately reviewed from a TSCA perspective. [Pg.705]

This procedure illustrates how a company might assess a new supplier and how the potential TSCA impact might be evaluated. Naming and responsibilities of functions will vary company by company. [Pg.705]
