• Risk Management of Industrial Chemicals in the EU

  From our offices in Europe, the U.S., and Asia, Exponent offers a wide range of technical and regulatory expertise to help companies prepare their authorization applications and manage risk compliantly as required by the European Chemicals Agency.

• REACH Authorization & Restriction

  REACH restrictions can impose specific use conditions or limit or ban the manufacture, import, sale, or use of a substance, and Exponent assists companies whose substances are under scrutiny to ensure regulatory compliance.

• Chemistry Services for Plant Protection Products, Biocides and Chemicals in the EU

  The Exponent Chemical Regulation and Food Safety chemistry team has significant expertise in testing, evaluating, and supporting registrations of active substances and formulated products in the EU, for Plant Protection Products (Regulation 1107/2009), Biocidal Products (Regulation 528/2012) and Industrial Chemicals (REACH Regulation 1907/2006).

• Environmental Risk Assessment of Plant Protection Products, Biocides, Chemicals, Veterinary Medicines & Pharmaceuticals in the EU

  Assessing the potential effects on individual organisms, natural communities and ecosystems is integral to the regulation of pesticides, biocides and industrial chemicals, and Exponent can assist with your environmental risk assessments by choosing the appropriate course of action, providing laboratory support for your study, and monitoring the study to ensure a robust data package.

• REACH Obligations for Substances of Very High Concern and Articles

  REACH registration obligations do not cease after initial dossier submission; amid concerns of non-compliance, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) requires registrants to share any new information frequently, and Exponent assists companies looking to improve the quality of their registrations or to help mitigate the risk of ECHA requests for additional test data.

• Human Health Risk Assessments for Plant Protection Products, Biocides & Chemicals Under REACH Regulations

  Human health risk assessments use modeling and data to predict the exposure of operators, workers, residents, and bystanders to chemicals in products. Exponent has extensive experience using the regulatory models required for risk assessment for plant protection products, biocides, and chemicals subject to Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) legislation in the EU and the U.K.
