REGSCAN LAUNCHES HAZMATSTORE.COM.

1 1/2 billion hazardous materials -from acids and chemicals to gasses and radioactive metals -are shipped daily worldwide.

Most of them pass by unnoticed, even to the U.S. Mail and parcel carriers who move them from place to place. It's safe, and legal, thanks to specialized containers sold by Williamsport, Pa.-based RegScan.

RegScan's new ecommerce website, HAZMATSTORE, debuts with 6,000 products for hazmat shipping, handling and storage, and also includes OSHA-compliant, safety-related products for training, personal protection and clean manufacturing. The Store is the exclusive Internet supplier of D.O.T./I.S.T.A- approved shippers, exemption shippers and containers. Ergonomic, first aid, breathing and personal protection products are readily available.

Available specialized products include the Poison Pack and Sampler. The Poison Pack exemption shipper permits small quantity, domestic shipment of Dangerous Goods of several classes/divisions in Packaging Groups I, II, or III without hazard labels. Intermediate containers are tested and certified for air shipment. A wide variety of inner containers are available. Exemption kits meet UPS Chemical Tables.

The Sampler provides low cost, ease-of-use sample shipping that meets international '4GV' standards for Dangerous Goods in Packaging Groups I, II, or III. Intermediate containers are also tested and certified for air shipment. This packaging system is transit-tested and suitable for parcel post.

RegScan annual regulatory subscribers earn a 5% discount on all product purchases. RegScan's chief business is as a leading electronic source for federal, state and international regulatory information.
