¨       An existing CHEMTREC registrant may wish to share its registration with a company affiliated to itself or its products in the chain of commerce (e.g. a subsidiary, a distributor, a third party logistics company....).  To do so, it must agree to act as the principal registrant for those affiliates, pay for their registrations, act as their administrative contact, submit the required product MSDS documentation and normally serve as the emergency contact for the products those affiliates ship.  This is an affiliate registration.

¨       If a Registrant desires separate emergency contacts for an affiliate, a premium will be assessed for each affiliate that requires separate emergency contacts, on an annual basis.  Affiliates must share administrative, billing, and MSDS contacts with the Registrant.

¨     If the exact name of a company that will appear as the designated "Shipper" on shipping documents is not already registered with CHEMTREC, then those shipping documents MUST NOT portray the CHEMTREC emergency response telephone number.  If the name of a company that will appear as the "Shipper" on shipping documents is different from an existing registrant's name, then it must either be registered independently with CHEMTREC or as an affiliate of an existing registrant, to benefit from CHEMTREC coverage.  It's the Shipper's name that counts.  A registration (either individual or affiliate) is required for each one. 

¨     Shipping locations, product lines and product names are not factors in determining the needed number of registrations - just the number of unique names that will appear as the "Shipper" on shipping documents.  It should be understood that it is the Shipper's name which is given to CHEMTREC first - either by first responders at an incident, or by transportation authorities doing random regulatory compliance audits on shipping routes - and is critical in locating the right registration and incident mitigation data from our database as soon and as accurately as possible.
