Order "Weigh In and Measure Up"

This session was held to a full house on July 21, 2006 at the CHA summer show. The Internet version is an easy to understand, narrated slide presentation with support materials and useful web links. The total session is about 45 minutes but you can view and listen to one speaker at a time and then return to hear the others.

Whether you are a large or small company you may be at risk of serious fines or having retailers drop your line! Why? Retailers in our industry have audited product information files and label information content. They found... most suppliers get a FAILING grade when it comes to meeting federal, state and local requirements.

This session will tell you what you need to do and where to get the information you need. Our expert tells what you need to do and our panel tells why and how. Our featured expert is Kathryn Dresser from U.S. Department of Commerce at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. She is an excellent speaker and easy to understand.

Kathryn is the primary editor of NIST Handbook 130 that has been adopted by 46 of the 50 states as their primary packaging and labeling law.  So she is a really valuable source of information to help us all avoid missteps in trying to follow the law and to meet the regulations.
