BEAC RESPONSIBLE CARE®
Since 1988, Responsible Care® (RC) has been recognized as one of the most successful EH&S and security initiatives. The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has signed memorandum of understanding giving BEAC an oversight role in implementing ACC's Responsible Care third-party certification requirements and to play an integral role in certifying ACC Responsible Care auditors, approving RCMS® Audit Service Providers, and recognizing Responsible Care® Training Course Providers. For additional information contact BEAC at info@beac.org. The ACC maintains the Responsible Care® ToolKit. For program information and applications, click on the links below.
In 2008, the Technical Oversight Board of the ACC recommended updates to the technical specifications. The updates are to be phased in, as per the following announcements:
