Retailers and other participants in the WERCSmart program, who sell, transport, store or dispose of your product face challenges in complying with increasingly complex federal, state and local regulations. The data contained in the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) supplied with the products frequently do not contain sufficient information for compliance with these regulations. WERCSmart provides retailers, and other participants, the data required to comply with these regulations.
UL Verification Services Inc. has over 25 years of experience in providing tools and services which support the Authoring, Management and Distributions of SDSs on a Global Level. UL I&I serves a broad spectrum of clients in the Chemical and Chemical-Related Industries, including a multitude of consumer-product suppliers. Throughout all of the services offered by UL I&I, confidentiality and security are paramount.
Many Retailers require the receipt of your product registration data via the WERCSmart system before they may finalize the Purchase Order. It is important that you submit your product as soon as possible to avoid any delays with your Buyer.
Depending on your product, entry of the data may take just a few moments, or could take 20 to 30 minutes, on average. The complexity of your product determines the amount of time it may take you to enter the data.
Once payment is received, and all required data is confirmed by our personnel, the typical registration process takes approximately 2 business days.
If any data is incorrect, or further information is needed, this will delay the registration process. You must be sure the data you provide matches any documentation you provide to avoid unnecessary delays.
Information that may be needed includes, but is not limited to, the following categories
Much of the information needed may come from various sources in your company including your Transportation/Logistics department, Research & Development and/or Regulatory. If you have an SDS for your product, the data may also be there. If you provide a copy of your SDS, please be aware that the data you enter must match the SDS you provide.
The Retailer will determine the parameters of Registration per Supplier.
The following types of products are required for registration. This list is not all-inclusive, so you are encouraged to verify the registration requirement with your Buyer:
Kits or Gift Packs are a compilation of products under one UPC, which is then sold to the consumer.
The chemical-containing products within a Kit need to be registered and submitted separately. Once the individual product registration is complete, you may then select the product to include in the Kit you will create for UPC registration.
A tutorial is available for the creation and registration of Kits using the Tutorial menu link above.
End-Caps, if they are all the same product within, may not be required for registration, as the individual product is already registered. You may verify this with your Buyer before setting up the End-Cap as a kit product registration.
Many batteries are manufactured and used by suppliers, but these batteries are not sold under a UPC to the consumer. These products would be registered via WERCSmart by the actual battery manufacturer. Once the registration report is finalized, the battery product will be added as an available "add-on" for other suppliers to use during their product registration process.
Information on setting up your battery is available via this link.
Some products contain proprietary ingredients from other manufacturers. Examples are: (a) colors; (b) fragrances; and (c) additives or blends used in the petroleum products. If you supply these ingredients you can register them in WERCSmart directly. This maintains the confidentiality of your ingredients and makes your, and the direct Supplier's, process more efficient.
To use a WERCSmart account, simply indicate that you are a 3rd Party Formulation Supplier. You will then only be required to provide formulation data. After you enter this information, you will be provided a WPS IDentification Number for your product. Your customer, the direct supplier, should be given this number. No one other than UL I&I will be able to see the data you entered.
Your customer, the direct supplier, will indicate that his product contains a certain percentage of the ingredient you supply. All he will see is the WPS ID number. They will never see the actual ingredients in your product. The UL I&I Regulatory Review Specialists will be able to provide accurate registration data based on the overall product data.
The assistance of 3rd Party Formulation Supplier is a cornerstone of the accuracy of product data and this specific group of supplier's participation in this program is encouraged and appreciated by all parties.

In addition to providing Retailer compliance reports, UL I&I also provides SDS services outside of the WERCSmart scope. Many times organizations find themselves in need of SDS or Labeling requirements and are unable to fulfill the need due to staffing, knowledge, and/or overall expertise. I&I assists in fulfilling the regulatory requirements of a wide variety of clients by providing professional documentation regarding their specific product.
Your business is booming and you’re becoming an International Superstar. So should your product's documentation. Many other countries and regions have their own set of regulations, including language requirements.
