Is it possible to protect component information by a claim of Proprietary Information or Trade Secret?
Yes. Under (29 CFR 1910.1200) OSHA allows claims of trade secrets and proprietary information. However, the manufacturer must abide by a variety of Federal standards on trade secrets. In addition, the manufacturer must be prepared to provide full disclosure of the composition in the event of a request from a health care provider. A number of states, such a New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York (to name just a few), require specific registration of the product with the state, if a trade secret claim is to be made. Under Canadian CPR Sections 12 and 19, a supplier may request from the Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission an exemption to protect certain information (for example, specific chemical name, CAS number, and % concentration), if that information gives the company an economic advantage over competitors. A fee, which varies depending on the number of different products and the number of ingredients considered confidential, must accompany each application. The Europea
