Chemical Guidebook (Series 1) - Understanding Organotins

In this guidebook we will cover a specific chemical requirement that is common within multiple countries. As there are so many requirements the focus, in general, will be on the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) as these are in fact the most helpful for technical and non-technical persons to understand the subjects. Where appropriate we have included another major market the United States as an additional reference.

There is also some basic advice on how to deal with or find out why a product may not be fully in compliance with the appropriate regulation(s). This means why do you have excess substance present in a product or material, understanding the why will assist in the solving of the how to resolve any failures in meeting regulatory requirements. Using this guidebook as a reference will enable you to understand how to use similar approaches to new chemical regulations, as it is certain that more, not less, chemical regulations will be put in place globally. These new regulations will be linked to substances, articles and even processes along with a greater link to the sustainability of materials and products both during production and the finished product.
