Reliable statements about the environmental compatibility of chemical and biological agents, products and technical procedures are established by assessing exposure levels and potential hazards. Our investigations encompass standard tests for the notification and labelling of industrial chemicals and products as well as complex studies for the solution of highly differentiated, detailed problem issues.

In addition to experimental investigations and computer simulations the activities of this business area focus on the improvement of strategies for risk assessment and the production of expert reports for ecological substance and product assessments with a recent introduction of evaluative aspects under the sustainability umbrella.

We operate under a legislative framework governed by the current EU-wide regulations on risk assessment and risk management for industrial chemicals including human and veterinary medicinal products as well as biocides.
