What is the consequence or penalty if a company fails to present a Certificate of Compliance or supporting documentation such as actual test reports?
Enforcement is at the discretion of individual states and subject to the provisions of their statutes. Most states have penalties associated with making or submitting false or misleading statements or certificates of compliance. Test reports are generally not required, however, if a complaint is received or if screening tests indicate a potential problem, then test reports may be required to confirm the basis for the Certificate of Compliance. Q: If our packaging is in compliance with the European Union Packaging Directive and the European Union Restriction of the Use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), can we assume that it is also in compliance with state toxics in packaging laws? A: No. State toxics in packaging laws are stricter than the EU Packaging and RoHS Directives. State toxics in packaging laws prohibit the intentional use of any amount of the four restricted heavy metals: lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium. In addition
