Regulatory services we offer
Regulatory pressures are ever increasing on businesses – social/emotional and scientific. At the same time specialist resource to understand and manage them are not always available. We can help bridge the gap.
Our experience in EU and non-EU REACH dates back to before the REACH regulation came into force, with active involvement in discussion on the legislation and working on the original guidance in the Reach Implementation Projects.
Letters of access are an important aspect of compliance with REACH. At Penman Consulting we manage joint submission groups on behalf of individual companies and our consortia clients.
An Only Representative (OR) is a local representative for a company outside of the relevant legal jurisdiction (e.g., outside the EEA for EU REACH, or outside the UK for UK REACH) to take over their responsibilities and tasks to ensure regulatory compliance.
Mixtures classified as hazardous for human health or physical hazards require Poison Centre Notifications (PCNs) to be submitted by the importer and/or downstream user placing the mixture onto the market.
Under REACH, it all starts with understanding your substance, with a thorough analysis of your substance’s chemical composition, to the highest level of granularity possible.
An intelligent, pragmatic approach to compliance, which considers factors such as financial savings, and contributes to the overall objective of minimising animal testing without compromising the regulatory acceptance of the results.
The chemicals industry is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history, facing a “double twin challenge “: transform to become green (climate neutral, circular) and digital, while transitioning to safe and sustainable chemicals.
