How does a packaging supplier obtain a Certificate of Compliance?
Packaging suppliers should secure Certificates of Compliance for each packaging component from the manufacturer or supplier of the packaging component. The packaging supplier may choose to prepare a single Certificate of Compliance based on the certifications of its manufacturers or suppliers. If the manufacturer is the first supplier in the packaging supply chain, the packaging or packaging component should be tested to determine the presence of the regulated metals.
