Government Regulations Affecting Metalworking Fluids

• Description:
  The U.S. chemical industry is one of the most highly regulated of all national business categories, primarily through the auspices of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Chemical regulations on the federal, state, and local levels are usually very specific for well-characterized and rigorously defined chemical compounds and raw materials that can be analyzed by validated standard methods and established laboratory protocols. The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)-a division of the American Chemical Society-maintains a registry of nearly 130 million records for unique organic and inorganic chemicals, and each registered chemical is assigned a unique identification number. However, there is no assigned CAS number for metalworking fluids (MWFs), with the exception of some purified mineral oils. [Description provided by NIOSH]
