EPA?是美國環(huán)境保護(hù)署（U.S Environmental Protection Agency）的英文縮寫。它的主要任務(wù)是保護(hù)人類健康和自然環(huán)境，總部設(shè)在華盛。EPA直接由總統(tǒng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，自1970年以來的30多年里，EPA一直在為給全美人民創(chuàng)造一個(gè)整潔的健康環(huán)境而努力。

EPA注冊(cè)是什么？

EPA是一個(gè)項(xiàng)目的概念，不是單純的測(cè)試或者認(rèn)證項(xiàng)目。需要根據(jù)產(chǎn)品性質(zhì)制定方案。

EPA注冊(cè)必須是美國當(dāng)?shù)鼐用窕蛘吖具M(jìn)行申請(qǐng)，針對(duì)美國以外的一切公司，都不能直接申請(qǐng)。所以像我們中國的廠家申請(qǐng)，則必須委托美國代理人進(jìn)行。美國代理人必須是在美國有永久居住權(quán)的個(gè)人或者EPA授權(quán)的代理公司。
