Specification support on restricted substances
The only way to ensure consistent quality, safety and performance of products is to set realistic specifications that are coupled with a sensible and balanced testing regime.
At Eurofins | BLC, we can create and review current chemical and material specifications of our members.
Eurofins | BLC Members are also free to use specifications from the Eurofins | BLC database that target both chemical and material requirements across a range of products and material types.

A RSL is an integral part of most brands’ chemical management system; in today’s evolving regulatory landscape it is virtually impossible, and in many cases a high risk, for a brand to function without one.
At Eurofins | BLC, we can support our members by reviewing and updating their RSLs, so that they are consistent with the latest legislative changes; eco labels; and brand/retailer decisions which may go beyond compliance.
Eurofins | BLC also have a comprehensive RSL available to members only. Contact us today to request access to this document.
