Toxic Substance Control Act

Laboratories engaged in research must consider the applicability of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) on their operation. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is intended to ensure that the human health and environmental effects of chemical substances are identified and adequately addressed prior to production or transport of those substances. Activities regulated under TSCA can include:

• Research conducted for commercial purposes
• Importation and exportation of chemicals
• Shipment of chemicals to locations within U.S.
• Adverse significant reactions to chemicals
• Significant risks of chemicals discovered during research

Each laboratory or research group must determine if TSCA applies to their laboratory activities. The TSCA informational resources and tools listed are designed to assist you in this process. Laboratory Directors, PIs, ROMs, CHOs, and laboratory managers/supervisors should familiarize themselves with TSCA by referring to the TSCA General Fact Sheet and TSCA Roles and Responsibilities.
