Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, Chemical Testing and Information - Voluntary Testing Agreements Voluntary Testing Agreements Voluntary testing agreements require industry to come forward with a voluntary testing program before EPA contemplates or issues final test rules. Studies on chemicals subject to voluntary testing agreements can be conducted by using test guidelines of industry's choice. EPA does not need to make any statutory TSCA Section 4 findings for voluntary testing agreements.
Testing can begin immediately on chemicals subject to voluntary testing agreements.
