We are happy to support you in collecting and evaluating all scientifically necessary information required in your relevant legislation in the scientific areas of efficacy, physical chemistry/analytics, human toxicology, ecotoxicology, and environmental fate.

We critically review in advance which information is absolutely necessary, support your studies, and, upon finalization, describe this information, if desired, in the appropriate study templates and/or in IUCLID.

We have many years of experience in performing risk assessment, which involves comparing the effects of substances or products with their exposure, both for humans and the environment. We derive the necessary reference values ​​and assessment factors to characterize potential effects.

To determine the exposure, we apply existing emission/exposure scenarios, adapt them as needed, or develop new, customized scenarios to refelct your specific product application.

Our experts have specific knowledge in the following areas:

• Wood protection: We have decades of practical experience in the effectiveness of wood preservatives and environmental exposure, especially for wood preservatives, including the planning and monitoring of leaching studies.

• Disinfectants: We have decades of practical experience in the areas of efficacy and environmental exposure, especially for disinfectants.

• Environmental exposure: We have in-depth expertise in environmental exposure across all legal frameworks, including the development of emission scenarios and the application of higher-tier simulation models.

We provide scientific support throughout the entire approval process, in constant communication with you and authorities. Our services in detail:

• Project management and study monitoring (commissioning and monitoring)

• Exposure- and risk assessment of active substances and biocidal products for humans and the environment, including substances of concern (SoC) and the assessment of endocrine-disrupting properties (ED assessment)

• Dossier preparation including IUCLID file and, depending on the legislation, a relevant Word template (e.g., Product Assessment Report (PAR) for biocides)

• Provision of individual dossier modules in IUCLID or other relevant templates (e.g., Environment, Efficacy, Physico-Chemical Properties)

• Processing of authority comments as part of the evaluation and peer review process

• Training courses and workshops on risk assessment
