ABS Quality Evaluations, Inc. (ABS QE), a subsidiary of ABS Group, has been selected as a third-party verifier by the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD), an international association of chemical distributors and their supply-chain partners, for the sixth cycle of the organization's Responsible Distribution program beginning in 2017.

For 25 years, NACD has implemented Responsible Distribution as a mandatory third-party-verified environmental, health, safety and security verification program. The verification program allows members to demonstrate their commitment to continuous performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation and disposal.

"We are pleased to receive the designation of verifier for NACD Responsible Distribution," says ABS QE President Alex Weisselberg. "ABS Group and ABS QE are actively involved in the oil, gas and chemical value chain and life cycle, working with clients to streamline projects, preserve their licenses to operate and help improve their business' profitability. Our auditors and independent verifiers have unparalleled industry knowledge to provide high-value performance and management services, with the goal of maintaining safer, more profitable operations within the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors."

"ABS QE provides NACD with another solid and experienced verification organization that will help ensure that NACD member companies demonstrate continuous improvement and top environmental, health, safety, and security practices in the chemical industry," says NACD President Eric Byer. "We are impressed with ABS QE's background in various management systems and look forward to a positive relationship with their verifiers and our member companies."
