Consistency and competency is vital when authoring regulatory documents. Passing the registry exam ensures that our authors possess the knowledge and understanding to provide consistently high quality SDSs. Many of our large customers are familiar with the registry, and having credentialed authors further validates our credibility and helps make us an attractive partner. ~ Pace Analytical Regulatory Services

As an owner of a consulting firm that specializes in chemical regulatory compliance, including hazard communication, I believe the SDSRP credential is important to our business. Having authors with demonstrated knowledge makes our clients more confident in their choice of authoring firms. We see this as an important selling point and an internal demonstration of quality assurance. ~ IHSC, LLC
