Crop Protection Chemicals Regulation Services
All aspects of the crop protection industry are regulated - production, manufacturing, distribution and instructions for use, as well as the maximum residue limits. As a result, products need to be thoroughly tested and evaluated before they can be approved for registration and distribution. Before a product can be used in a specific country, it must be demonstrated that it meets the regulatory standards of that country, that it is safe for workers to use, and has no adverse effects on the environment, crops, or the final food produced. With continued consumer concerns over the environment, human safety and animal health, regulatory agencies are continually developing new data requirements to comply to gain approval for your product. BOC Sciences’ team has a wealth of regulatory, scientific and commercial expertise gained in industry, regulatory agencies, consulting firms and research institutions. Our dedicated crop protection team has the regulatory insight to improve the regulatory success. We have a proven track record of working with global crop protection regulations, enabling our clients to get the support to meet your commercial and regulatory objectives. In addition, our team of experts provides a comprehensive crop protection regulatory service covering a wide range of chemicals.
Pesticides Regulation Services
A comprehensive regulatory framework for pesticides closely examines all stages of a pesticide product's life cycle. Safety is carefully considered at all stages of research and development, and products are evaluated by manufacturers and regulatory agencies to ensure quality control based on registration data and manufacturing standards. The regulatory framework includes appropriate handling, transport and precautions during use including labeling and setting allowable residue levels in food. BOC Sciences ensures the safe use of pesticides through proper understanding of regulatory policies and active management of risks.
