WHAT DO WE DO?

Amazon Product Compliance

To support companies with Amazon Vendor Compliance, Dell Tech’s consultants complete product reviews for products manufactured for consumer use with attention given to regulations under the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 (Canada) and Consumer Protection Safety Commission (United States). Additionally, we assist with state-specific regulations including California Proposition 65 and VOC regulations.

Raw Materials Classification

Dell Tech has been accurately classifying chemicals for over 40 years. We will review where your data is coming from and whether or not the proper laboratory method was used. Classifying your raw materials is a critical part of authoring safety data sheets which depending on your product type, may be a component of the required certificate for Amazon compliance.

Hazard Classification Testing

In addition to reviewing your product packaging for Amazon compliance, Dell Tech’s ISO IEC 17025 accredited laboratory is equipped to conduct hazard classification testing for flammable liquids/solids/aerosols and corrosives. Not only will our team provide you with test reports which you can submit to Amazon, we will also guide you through the reported result to ensure you understand your product’s classification, labelling and other safety or compliance requirements.

Nutritional Labeling

Dell Tech’s Canadian regulatory consultants provide expert guidance on food regulations to help companies sell conventional, novel and supplemented foods on Amazon. Our team will review your product label, including Nutrition Facts Table (NFT) and annotate with corrections as necessary. If your product is in fact an herbal supplement or dietary supplement, we will assist you with classification, labeling and application for registration with Health Canada where necessary.
