Why you need to manage Chrome VI risk
Brands and retailers are ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance of their consumer goods to product safety standards, and as such there is an increasing pressure to provide transparency on how chemicals are managed within the supply chain. Failure to comply may result in fines, delays or withdrawal of product from the market.
The propensity for Chrome VI formation is specific to the individual tanneries leather making process, and so it is necessary to understand the risk relevant to each supplier. The Eurofins | BLC Digital Chrome VI Risk Profiler supports the due diligence checks necessary to understand the specific risks of Chrome VI formation at the facility level and take appropriate action to mitigate these, ensuring compliance to Chrome VI product safety legislation.
