National Regulations Governing Labels:

In Mexico the Official Mexican Standard NOM-018-STPS-2015 sets out the criteria that Govern Industrial labels. In an effort to facilitate international trade Mexico has released NMX-R-019-SCFI-2011 based on the UN GHS standards. Compliance with NMX-R-019-SCFI-2011 is currently voluntary, but may be used in conjunction with the mandatory NOM-018-STPS-2015.

Tectran used Nexreg for preparation of our SDS and label for new Pendilube product launch. We found Mike Moffatt to be very helpful and thorough. We knew of most of the regulations that we were required to meet but with his help and document preparation we were able to have the confidence that we were covering all the required regulations that impacted our product.
