Hazardous Consumer Products Registration Program

The Hazardous Consumer Products Registration program, under the Texas Hazardous Substances Act, handles compliance over a broad range of commonly used consumer items including automotive products; household cleaners; polishes and waxes; paints and glues; infant items; children's toys; and sleep wear. This responsibility is implemented through registration of manufacturers; re-packagers and/or importers of hazardous substances; enforcement of labeling regulation, including hazard warning statements and first aid instructions appropriate for the specific product; and detention of recalled, mislabeled, and banned items.

Effective January 9th, 2023, all Hazardous Consumer Products Registration applications, initial and renewals will be required to be submitted online through the Regulatory Services Online Licensing System. You will need to create an account to submit your application online.
