COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product warranty matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company. Environmental Matters The Company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities. The Company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to, or in replacement of, those currently utilized by the Company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes. Changes to the Company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves. The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Companys involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. The Company incurred $ 0.4 million and $ 0.7 million of expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 21.6 million and $ 22.6 million , respectively. The total reserve at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , included $ 5.7 million and $ 6.3 million , respectively, related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , was $ 5.9 million and $ 5.6 million , respectively, and the remainder is classified as noncurrent. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. Warranty Liability Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available. The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows: In millions 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 14.5 $ 14.1 Reductions for payments (2.3 ) (1.8 ) Accruals for warranties issued during the current period 3.8 2.0 Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties (0.1 ) (0.1 ) Acquisitions  0.4 Translation  0.1 Balance at end of period $ 15.9 $ 14.7 Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets.
