Product Compliance
Ship with confidence. Sell without friction.
Regulatory requirements are multiplying. Your customers, importers, and downstream buyers need proof that your products comply, and they need it now. The 3TGs delivers end-to-end product compliance support across the world's most demanding regulatory frameworks.
Requirements Assessment
Scoping comes before data collection. We establish which regulations apply to which products, in which markets, and at what threshold, so supplier requests ask for the right data the first time.
- Product and market scoping: every SKU against every applicable framework, by destination market
- Bill of materials breakdown with substrate, skin contact and end-use classification
- Requirement matrix build: which substance lists, thresholds and documents apply per part
- Annex XVII entry-level scoping and restriction applicability analysis
- Gap analysis against existing declarations, so you chase only what is genuinely missing
- Prioritized roadmap: what must be fixed before the next production run, and what can wait
REACH
The EU's cornerstone chemical regulation affects every physical product entering the European market. Non-compliance means border seizures, lost customers, and legal exposure.
- Substance-in-article analysis against the SVHC Candidate List
- SCIP database notifications for articles containing SVHCs above 0.1% w/w
- Supplier data collection and Full Material Disclosure (FMD) campaigns
- Annual Candidate List update gap assessments
- REACH declaration and compliance documentation packaging
RoHS
RoHS restricts ten substances in electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU. Exemptions are time-limited, and enforcement is tightening.
- Product scope assessment across all 11 RoHS categories
- Substance threshold evaluation (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), PBBs, PBDEs, four phthalates)
- Exemption applicability reviews and renewal tracking
- EU Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation
- Supplier RoHS data collection and validation
Proposition 65
Prop 65 is a litigation magnet. Over 900 listed chemicals, aggressive bounty-hunter enforcement, and strict warning requirements make this one of the most consequential U.S. regulations for consumer products.
- Product-level chemical risk assessment against the Prop 65 list
- Warning label determination and safe harbor language guidance
- Supplier substance inquiry campaigns to quantify exposure risk
- Ongoing list update monitoring and impact analysis
PFAS
PFAS regulation is accelerating at state, federal, and international levels. Bans and reporting mandates are live or imminent across the EU, U.S., and Asia-Pacific.
- PFAS presence screening across product portfolios and supply chains
- Regulatory mapping: which PFAS rules apply to your products and markets
- Supplier PFAS disclosure campaigns
- Substitution pathway advisory and timeline planning
TSCA
TSCA governs chemical substances manufactured or imported into the United States. EPA enforcement is expanding, particularly around reporting and risk evaluation rules.
- TSCA Inventory status verification for chemical substances
- CDR (Chemical Data Reporting) support and filing preparation
- Section 6 risk management rule compliance tracking
- Supplier data collection aligned to EPA requirements
EU WFD / SCIP
If your articles contain SVHCs above 0.1% w/w, SCIP notification to ECHA is mandatory before placing them on the EU market.
- SCIP dossier preparation and submission to ECHA
- Product-level SVHC mapping and BOM-level assessment
- Supplier data aggregation for complex articles
- SCIP workflow integration with existing REACH programs
POPs
POPs are globally restricted under the Stockholm Convention. The EU enforces strict concentration limits, and the substance list continues to expand.
- POPs screening across product materials and components
- Concentration limit verification against Annex I thresholds
- Supplier declarations and testing coordination
- Regulatory tracking for new POPs listings
PPWR
PPWR replaced Directive 94/62/EC and applies directly in all 27 Member States. Packaging placed on the EU market needs a conformity assessment, an EU Declaration of Conformity and a technical file. There is no stock exhaustion period for the substance restrictions.
- Packaging conformity assessment, EU Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation
- Substances of concern screening, including PFAS limits in food contact packaging
- Design for recycling assessment and 2030 recycled content target planning
- Packaging minimization and empty space ratio evaluation
- Supplier data collection on packaging materials, weights and composition
Packaging EPR
Seven states have packaging EPR laws: California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington. Registration, annual reporting and eco-modulated fees are all calculated from packaging data at material and weight level, reported state by state.
- Producer obligation determination, state by state, including exemption thresholds
- Producer responsibility organization registration support
- Packaging material and weight data structuring for annual reporting
- California SB 54 source reduction and recyclability impact analysis
- Toxics in packaging and state PFAS in packaging ban screening
ESPR & Digital Product Passport
ESPR extends ecodesign from energy-related products to most goods sold in the EU, and introduces the Digital Product Passport. The 2025 to 2030 working plan covers iron and steel first, then textiles, tyres, aluminium, furniture and mattresses. Requirements arrive through product-specific delegated acts.
- Product group scoping against the ESPR working plan and delegated act pipeline
- Digital Product Passport data readiness: what you must publish, and where that data sits today
- Gap assessment between existing REACH and SCIP datasets and DPP requirements
- Unsold consumer goods destruction ban readiness for textiles and footwear
- Ecodesign requirement horizon scanning per product group
EU Battery Regulation
The regulation covers every battery category, from portable cells to EV packs, and reaches the products they are built into. CE marking and labeling obligations are already in force. The battery passport and supply chain due diligence follow in 2027.
- Battery category classification (portable, LMT, industrial, SLI, EV) and scope determination
- CE marking, EU Declaration of Conformity and labeling requirements
- Due diligence policy design for cobalt, lithium, nickel and natural graphite
- Battery passport data readiness ahead of February 2027
- Carbon footprint declaration and recycled content target planning
EUDR
EUDR covers cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood, plus derived products including leather, furniture, tyres, packaging and printed paper. Compliance requires plot-level geolocation data traced back to the point of production.
- Scope determination against the Annex I commodity and HS code lists
- Operator versus trader classification and downstream reference number handling
- Supplier geolocation data collection and plot-level evidence campaigns
- Due diligence statement preparation and Information System submission
- Legality assessment and country risk documentation
GPSR
GPSR covers consumer products not governed by sector-specific safety law. It requires an EU responsible person named on the product or packaging, an internal risk assessment, and traceability information. Online marketplaces are obliged to remove listings that lack them.
- Responsible person appointment and mandatory labeling review
- Internal safety risk assessment and technical documentation files
- Traceability, batch identification and recall procedure design
- Safety Gate and Safety Business Gateway incident reporting readiness
- Online listing compliance review for marketplace channels
Labeling & Artwork
Mandatory markings are set by regulation and differ by market. A missing responsible person address or an incorrect fiber composition statement means reprinted artwork, a delayed shipment or a customs hold, so we review labeling requirements before artwork is signed off.
- Mandatory marking review per market: GPSR Article 19 identifiers, importer and responsible person details
- Textile fibre composition labeling (Regulation 1007/2011) and care labeling requirements
- PPWR packaging material and separate collection labeling readiness
- Prop 65 warning determination, safe harbor wording and US marking review
- Artwork cycle coordination so labeling changes are consolidated into a single revision
Verification Testing
Sometimes supplier data isn't sufficient. When high-risk components are flagged, customers demand verified data, or new suppliers lack history, The 3TGs coordinates third-party lab testing through our network of ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories.
- Test scope definition: substances, components, and applicable standards (IEC 62321, EPA methods)
- Certified lab selection matched to product type, geography, and turnaround needs
- Sample preparation guidance and chain-of-custody documentation
- Results interpretation: translating raw lab data into compliance determinations
- Integration of test results into compliance documentation packages
