Toxic Trio Scientific and Regulatory Services

Intertek offers a complete services portfolio to assist companies with toxic trio chemical regulatory compliance.

Toxic trio chemicals [toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP),and formaldehyde] can be found in consumer products such as nail polish. Exposure to these potentially hazardous chemicals has been linked to chronic health issues.

Compliance with California state laws, such as Proposition 65, may also be required. Products must be properly labeled to disclose these potentially harmful chemicals.

In addition, the European Union (EU) bans the use of DBP in certain products and places restrictions on the use of formaldehyde and toluene.
