▍WERCSmart registration
WERCS: World Environmental Regulatory Compliance Standard
WERCSmart, developed by The Wercs, is a product registration database company, providing a platform for the supervision of product safety in US and Canada and making product purchasing more convenient. Retailers, and other Recipients in the WERCSmart solution, who may sell, transport, store and possibly dispose of your product, face challenges in complying with increasingly complex federal, state and local laws and regulations. Generally, the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) supplied with the products do not cover the data containing sufficient information in compliance with the laws and regulations. And WERCSmart can help make the products conform with it accordingly.
