Our services
We are here to help companies of all sizes manage their regulatory obligations on the global biocides market. Whether you are looking to introduce a product to the market, or need help preparing for upcoming regulatory hurdles, we are here to guide you step-by-step through the process.
Portfolio review and strategy planning
We offer an 'end-to-end' project management solution for our clients, starting with a full review of your product(s) to advise which legislation is applicable, the steps to compliance, and to offer strategic advice on product and range development. A typical review would include:
​
-
An outline of the relevant regulatory process
-
An outline of the data requirements for your product(s)
-
Risk identification
-
An indication of associated timeframes and costs
​
We treat the portfolio review stage as a chance to get to know your company, your products and your industry, so that we can understand your business challenges and priorities, and offer the highest quality advice.
It is very much an interactive process, allowing you to ask questions and make informed decisions.
