WERCSmart Product Type selection


The Product Type you choose for your product will determine the questions you need to answer during the registration process. Selecting the correct Product Type is crucial for a successful WERCSmart registration, as it guides what information you must provide to Retailers.

Why is Product Type important?

The Product Type selection will change the questions asked during your product registration. Consequently, to successfully register your product in WERCSmart, the Product Type chosen must accurately represent your product.



Navigate to the Product Type field 

  • Click on the first tab of the registration Product Type.
  • Click on The Product.
  • Locate the 'Type of Product' field.



Look for Product Type on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) 

The SDS for your product may include a Product Type in Section 1, which you can use as a starting point for selecting the Product Type.

  • Type it in the Type of Product field.
  • Select the matching option.
  • Click Save.



If you do not see a matching option or if the SDS does not have a Product Type

Explore the various options available for your product by entering a key term of your product type. 

  • Start by typing in broader terms related to your product.
    • This will help you see the different options in WERCSmart that might accurately represent your product.
  • For example, type Lotion in the box and select an option that best matches your product.
