Industrial Chemicals
The demands for chemical testing services can be diverse due to the myriad applications, compositions, and safety factors involved.
Understanding the manufacturing processes and the chemical composition of these basic chemicals is important in order to meet cost reduction targets and to comply with increasingly stringent environmental and safety regulations.
This complexity needs to be managed alongside the requirement to guarantee timely access to the data you require. We are a Specialist CRO providing Environmental Risk Assessment testing in support of:
Industrial Chemical Global Notifications
• EU REACH 2007 (EC) No 1907/2006
• UK REACH
• K-REACH
• USA TSCA
• Turkey KKDIK
Our experience includes working with compounds and challenging substances (UVCBs, oils, resins, etc).
Our in-house multidisciplinary analytical capability and in-depth global regulatory knowledge can support you to ensure your portfolio of chemical products remains compliant with ever changing regulations.
We test and analyse basic and industrial chemicals which are used in a range of industries, and are conducted to international standards.
We offer a wide range of studies for the industrial chemistry sector, including:
Endocrine Disruption Testing including OECD 231 AMA and OECD 241 LAGDA
Chronic Daphnia & FELS
Ecotoxicology and standard FELS
Higher Tier simulation studies including OECD 106 and OECD 309
Biodegradation
Polymer analysis
Prepare for Compliance Requirements with Expert Support from Scymaris
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is challenging registrants’ attempts to waive or read-across to key end-points relating to higher tier testing in the environment. Decisions will likely require registrants to conduct several critical studies, including:
OECD 106: Adsorption Desorption
OECD 210: Fish Early Life Stage Toxicity Test
OECD 211: Daphnia magna Reproduction Test
OECD 305: Bioaccumulation in Fish (Aqueous & Dietary Exposure)
OECD 309: Aerobic Mineralisation in Surface Water (Biodegradation Simulation Test)
Many registrants have previously sought waivers for these studies due to their technical complexity, high costs, and the need for specialized materials, such as radiolabelled substances. However, ECHA is increasingly rejecting these waivers, meaning registrants must either perform the required tests or provide substantial proof of impracticality.
It is now essential for registrants to partner with a trusted laboratory that combines scientific expertise with proven reliability to address these data gaps.
We invite you to discuss your upcoming study requirements with us. Scymaris is committed to helping you meet your regulatory compliance needs with the highest level of service and scientific expertise.
Our expertise includes;
Handling Complex Substances: We excel in generating reliable, robust data for technically demanding compounds such as insoluble, volatile, difficult to analyse and UVCB products.
Chronic Ecotoxicology Studies: We offer high-quality chronic ecotoxicology studies, supported by strong historical control data as well as our in-house breeding colonies and analytical chemistry.
Endocrine Disruption Testing: Experienced team offering key endocrine disruption studies, including FSTRA, FSDT, AMA and LAGDA tests.
Environmental Fate Studies: Extensive experience in conducting higher-tier simulation studies involving complex substances and in-house metabolite/degradant identification.
Integrated Chemistry, Ecotoxicology and Environmental Fate Expertise: A project team approach ensuring product knowledge is gained and shared amongst our teams.
Extensive expertise in regulatory testing: When required, we will work with you in a stepwise approach to confirm testing is not scientifically feasible or perform the required testing with confidence.
