Which agency imposes strict labeling requirements on chemical manufacturers?

The correct answer is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This agency is responsible for regulating various aspects of environmental health, including the labeling of chemicals. The EPA ensures that chemical manufacturers provide necessary information on labels to inform users and protect against hazards associated with chemical exposure. These labeling requirements are based on the guidelines set forth in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and other relevant legislations that focus on safety, health, and environmental considerations.

While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does enforce workplace safety standards and has its own requirements regarding labeling of hazardous materials under the Hazard Communication Standard, it primarily focuses on safe handling and employee safety rather than comprehensive chemical labeling from a manufacturing perspective. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) primarily oversees food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics, rather than chemical labeling. The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) focuses on standards related to medical devices and equipment, but it does not impose regulations on chemical labeling requirements like the EPA does.
