Our Impact
We at the Silver Task Force North America (STFNA) stand as powerful advocates for companies developing and using silver-based antimicrobial technologies. Through our collaborative action, we have successfully navigated complex regulatory challenges, including negotiating with the EPA to reduce burdensome data requirements and securing holds on various Data Call-In (DCI) requirements to prevent unnecessary testing.
We represent both established registrants and innovative newcomers, creating a unique ecosystem where companies can collectively advance the development of silver-based antimicrobial technologies while meeting regulatory obligations at a fraction of the individual cost.

Shared Compliance Costs
The latest EPA data call-in (DCI) for toxicity and environmental studies cost over $2.1 million, distributed among STFNA members rather than borne by individual companies.
