Services

Our services rely on our scientific approach. We work with you to comply with regulations, develop policy, strategy, research and develop solutions to the problems that you have, by understanding the data.

Regulatory compliance

• REACH (EU and UK): development of all aspects of technical dossiers for registration, including substance identity and classification and labelling, and response to regulatory evaluation. Technical support for applications for authorisation (AfA) and restriction proposals.
• Biocidal products: compiling product authorisation dossiers for the EU biocidal products Regulation and similar regulations in the UK, understanding of the complex needs of the regulations for active substance and product assessment, applying expert knowledge of chemistry, degradation in the environment, toxicology and ecotoxicology
• EU Cosmetics regulation: understanding of chemistry, degradation in the environment, toxicology and ecotoxicology to develop a cosmetic product safety report (CPSR) for notification
• Environmental safety: exposure modelling at all steps of the supply chain, quantifying how the environment and humans may be exposed to a chemical throughout its lifecycle. Assess exposure for specific locations, using modelling to identify operational controls to minimise environmental footprint.

Scientific research

• Predictive methods: filling data gaps for regulatory submissions including quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), read across and alternative methods to testing.
• Developing standard and bespoke modelling methods and programmes for assessment of environmental exposure and fate, worker and consumer exposure, including impact of market changes. Working with clients and laboratory-based partners to validate models using measurements from workplace monitoring, effluent and environments monitoring data and experiments.
• Data interpretation: substance identity and sameness evaluation for regulatory purposes. Characterisation of complex substances
• Undertaking literature reviews and screening assessments on a wide range of regulatory endpoints including use pattern, fate, toxicity and endocrine disruption.
• Designing and monitoring testing programmes and studies that are fit for purpose. Understanding and managing the challenges associated with testing “difficult” substances.

Chemical policy

• Development and analysis of policy for chemicals management. Understanding the risk and impacts of substances, such that the consequences of regulatory actions can be quantified, and the costs and benefits understood.
