Fortunately, distributors have a number of methods to show they've done their due diligence when selling products to clients. As Duffy explained, there is one easy way to be certain that a supplier's products are compliant with all federal regulations: ask. "Ask them for specific numbers (e.g., ppm) and for a General Certificate of Conformity to support their findings. Suppliers who have done their research and testing will not hesitate to offer this information. They know that product safety is a competitive advantage and are willing to make the investment in safety and integrity of their products," he said.
