PRTR operation - Compliance assurance

Compliance mechanisms to best meet the goals and objectives of a PRTR should be agreed on by affected and interested parties. Compliance mechanisms can prevent or address non-compliance with PRTR regulations and reporting requirements, including:

  • Failure to report to the PRTR;
  • Failure to report for one or more chemicals;
  • Reporting late (i.e., submit reporting forms after the reporting deadline);
  • Reporting incomplete data (e.g. null data in required data elements); and
  • Reporting erroneous data (e.g. inconsistent or miscalculated data).

Key items to ensuring compliance with PRTR reporting include:

  • Compliance Assistance: Helping facilities understand and meet PRTR reporting requirements.

For a cost-effective management scheme, you may wish to implement the next sub-element (Compliance Assistance) or choose another element from the Management scheme elements list.
