CIRS Announces Strategic Collaboration with 3E Company
22 June 2013, CIRS announced a strategic collaboration with 3E Company, a leading provider of environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance and information management services. The alliance aims to offer Chinese companies streamlined and expanded access to the chemical, regulatory, and compliance information services offered by 3E Company.
Under the terms of the agreement, CIRS will represent 3E Company within the People's Republic of China and promote the Ariel WebInsight(TM) online chemical regulatory compliance reference tool and the 3E Online(R) safety data sheet (SDS) management platform in China in an effort to offer integrated solutions to its customers and enhance product stewardship and workplace safety initiatives.
CIRS will also use the MSDgen(R) SDS authoring system to support its new SDS and label authoring services for the Asia Pacific region. The CIRS team of experts will author these critical documents using MSDgen to ensure that they are prepared in the official language of the destination region/country. The team will also ensure that the documents reflect the latest regulatory requirements on format, unique classification rules, ingredient disclosure, and regulatory information in each country/region in which the customer company conducts business.
"3E has been committed to establishing a strong presence and positive role in China over the last several years," said Robert S. Christie, CEO and president, 3E Company. "We've noted increasing demand for comprehensive and reliable platforms, services, data, and expertise to support chemical regulatory safety and compliance. We're delighted to work with CIRS to help meet this demand while also helping companies achieve their global compliance goals. We look forward to broadening our collaboration with CIRS in the future and expanding their access to 3E's services and solutions."
"We are excited about this win-win alliance. In collaborating with 3E, we'll have access to 3E's powerful EH&S solutions to better help Chinese companies comply with global and local EH&S regulations," said Yan Lee, general manager, CIRS.
