Recent regulatory developments are tightening the use of certain persistent organic pollutants (POPs) — in particular UV-328 and Dechlorane Plus — due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential adverse human health effects. Governments around the world are increasingly restricting these chemicals in consumer products.
As a leading supplier of analytical standards and regulatory support, Novachem is well-positioned to help labs, manufacturers, compliance teams and regulators adapt to these changes. Below are relevant product standards you can order, plus some guidance on how to stay ahead of regulatory shifts.

Why These Standards Matter Now
-
Global regulatory pressure: Several jurisdictions are implementing new bans or limits on UV-328 and Dechlorane Plus, especially in consumer products. This is being driven by newer scientific findings on their toxicity and environmental fate.
-
Analytical verification: Laboratories must have high-quality, traceable standards to validate their methods, check for compliance with permissible limits, and respond to regulatory inquiries or audits.
-
Supply chain readiness: Manufacturers using UV-328 or Dechlorane Plus (e.g., in stabilizers, flame retardants, polymers) may face reformulation requirements. Having access to standards allows for internal monitoring and for ensuring suppliers’ claims.
