Crop Protection Chemicals Regulation Services
There are approximately 800 chemicals registered for crop protection worldwide, and many agriculture manufacturing companies have made it their business to discover, develop and sell new crop protection chemical products. Without the application of crop protection chemicals, agriculture would be less efficient. The major categories of crop protection chemicals are herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. During the manufacturing of crop protection chemicals, these chemicals will be rigorously tested to ensure that it meets the highest standards of safety: to farmers, consumers and the environment. Modern crop protection chemicals are safer than their previous counterparts, however, the barriers to registration are also higher than in the past. Residues in food are required to be measured to ensure that they do not pose a health risk. In addition, their persistence and bioaccumulation in the environment need to be determined. In recent years, the field of crop protection has come under strict regulation aimed at protecting human health and the environment. Since the implementation of these regulations, the complexity of risk assessment for human health and the environment has increased dramatically. BOC Sciences has a comprehensive understanding of these regulations, their data requirements and technical guidance documents and is able to produce robust registration dossiers. Our team of professionals has a high level of expertise in regulatory affairs and higher level risk assessment to best advise the crop protection industry and ensure that their innovative products reach key agrochemical markets in the most efficient manner.
