CIBS is needed because product regulations in the USA are complex and vary at county, ARBs, district, state, and federal levels. The specifications and taxonomies used in these regulations also vary significantly across levels and from region to region, making the compliance process complex, cumbersome, and costly. These regulations are also subject to periodic changes, so industry players are expected to be in sync with the latest versions. Companies could be subjected to steep penalties if they are found violating these regulations.
CIBS is easy to use. Users simply upload the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) details for a part number and CIBS provides a detailed, visually informative report on where they can and cannot sell their products.
