    Toxic Substances Control Act Certification: does this apply to medical devices and are there specific limits for substances to determine a positive or negative certification

    Hi Catherine

    The TSCA specifically excludes some things that are covered by other rules - pesticides, tobacco, food, food additives, drugs, cosmetics, devices...

    You'll find that in the definitions section, 15 U.S.C. §2602.

    Just for fun, if you go to www.epa.gov and enter FDA in the search box, you'll find lots of articles about areas where they're working on how to define the boundaries of their jurisdictions.
