Bisphenol A (BPA) is one such chemical listed under California Proposition 65, known for its use in manufacturing plastics and resins. Under California Prop 65, businesses must inform consumers about significant exposures to BPA. Failure to comply can result in legal action, fines, and reputational damage.
Regular BPA testing helps ensure your products meet safety standards and comply with state regulations. Our BPA testing services provide comprehensive solutions to help your business meet these requirements effectively and efficiently.
What is BPA?
BPA is an industrial chemical used primarily in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. These materials are commonly found in consumer goods such as:
- Food and beverage containers (e.g., water bottles, baby bottles)
- Electronic equipment
- Automotive parts
- Dental sealants and composites

BPA exposure has been linked to several health issues, including:
- Hormonal disruptions
- Reproductive harm
- Increased risk of certain cancers
- Developmental problems in children
