Biocides Regulation Services
Biocides refer to a class of chemical agents that control harmful organisms by chemical or biological means. The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) sets out the rules and procedures for the supply of active substances and the biocidal products within the EU. It not only provides the procedures for the assessment of biocides products, but also gives the basis for the renewal of existing approved active substances. However, these requirements and their constant changes are a challenge for companies wishing to place their biocides products on the market. BOC Sciences scientifically manages your biocide active ingredients and products through regulatory hurdles, and optimizes your market access in a streamlined, cost-effective and timely manner. Our dedicated biocide regulatory team can support you by leveraging our extensive and deep insight and practical experience.
