Pharma for sure
Pharmaceutical raw materials require a great deal more attention than straightforward chemicals. Information on toxicology and ecotoxicology is often difficult to obtain. Correct classification according to CLP and the Dangerous Goods Regulation is often difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Let our experts in this field help close this frequently unfilled gap and ensure your business is legally secure – whether the goal is import into the EU, trade, transport or storage.

Preparation of expert opinions
Health-based limits should be based on safe thresholds, such as Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) or Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC). These thresholds should be the result of a structured scientific evaluation of all available pharmacological and toxicological data, including non-clinical and clinical data.
We offer the professional preparation of PDE (Permitted Daily Exposure) reports in accordance with the EMA guideline ‘Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities’ (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012).
These expertises are essential for:
- Cleaning validations.
- Cross-contamination risk assessments, especially in ‘shared facilities’ such as those found not only at contract manufacturers (CMO/CDMO).
- Authorisation documentation (CTD Module 3.2.P.5.4).
- GMP compliance during inspections.

Help with borderline products
The correct regulatory classification of a product is crucial for its market access, labelling obligations and safety requirements. Our service supports you in the classification of so-called borderline products, which operate at the interface between different legal areas – e.g. between:
- Pharmaceuticals, food supplements and medical devices.
- Veterinary products, feed additives and biocides.
- Biocides and pesticides.
- Cosmetics and chemicals.
