The Product Safety Code requires that companies include product safety and stewardship as part of their management systems. Product safety management requires an understanding of intended product uses, a science-based assessment of potential risks from products, and consideration of the opportunities to manage product safety along the value chain. A key component of managing product safety by parties in the value chain is exchanging information regarding product hazards, intended uses, handling practices, exposures and risks. Product stewardship is the responsibility to understand, manage and communicate the health and environmental impacts of chemical products.
