Health and Safety

 

We provide international expertise in the fields of toxicology and eco-toxicology based on a strong interdisciplinary knowledge about chemical substances and their effects on humans, animals and the environment.

Health, safety and compliance are requirements which both authorities and society at large place on products brought to market. We offer consultancy on the marketing of chemical products and on alternative solutions as well as aid to prepare product information material. Furthermore, we offer safety assessments of cleaner technology, monitor legislation and plan toxicological tests.

We advise about preliminary screening of chemical substances and raw materials, as well as on the implementation of REACH.

Businesses are recognising that food safety assessments need to be incorporated at an earlier stage in product development. We can provide advice early in the product development cycle.

Within the medico sector we provide advisory services to product developers, researchers and scientists, companies and authorities within the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and chemicals. We are specialists on safety assessments, specialising in new test methods which do not involve animal testing.

Manufacturers are increasingly required to document that their products contain no hazardous substances. Environmental label approvals are the consumer's guarantee of product safety and are often important to the marketing of certain products.

Furthermore we provide advice on the composition of, for example, cosmetic products, skin-care products, detergents, toys and drinking water installations, and we offer guidance to companies applying for environmental label approvals or preparing environmental product information.
