Chemical management firm NimkarTek Detox Laboratory (NDL) has become the first Accepted Testing Laboratory to indicate Level 1 conformance with the ZDHC’s Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL).
The agreement sees NDL join Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex, ToxServices Full Materials Disclosure, BLC Chem-MAP and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) as a Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) accepted provider of service to indicate conformance to the MRSL.
NimkarTek analytical test reports may now be used by chemical suppliers to indicate Level 1 conformance of their products to the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) on the ZDHC Gateway – Chemical Module.
From the outset ZDHC decided not to develop its own certification system for MRSL conformant chemistry, but to leverage existing certification bodies instead.
“To achieve the goal of ZDHC, NimkarTek believes that testing of input chemical inventory for ZDHC MRSL substances is a critical step that a manufacturing facility needs to take,” says Ullhas Nimkar, MD and chairman of NimkarTek. “With this in mind, we have set up the NimkarTek Detox Laboratory. We believe in the ZDHC goal and are committed to help the industry achieve Zero Discharge through our services.”
