EPA registration specific process:
1. Simple products, products that do not use chemicals: no tests are involved, but factory information, company information, and basic product information need to be registered and filed, and an annual production report needs to be submitted every year.
2. Chemicals: Toxicological tests of chemicals, energy efficiency data, environmental impact data and other information need to be submitted. If the chemical has been registered by the manufacturer before, you can cite the previously submitted data, but you need to pay a fee to purchase it. If it is a new product, there is no relevant data on record in the EPA system before, and it needs to be tested. The cost of testing is very high, generally starting at 17,600 US dollars, and even reaching 800-100 million US dollars (such as nanomaterials).
3. Engine: This type of product needs to conduct emission test on the engine. The emission test must be carried out in a laboratory operation approved by EPA and complying with GLP specifications. The test cost is very high, generally 6-7W RMB, and large-power engines are far from enough. . After the test is passed, the test report and application materials need to be submitted to the EPA for registration.
