REACH Regulation / EU REACH Services

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances) was written to ensure that all chemicals on the mar­ket in the European Union (EU) do not adversely affect human health or the environment. The REACH Regulation was enacted by the EU in June of 2007.

The 3rd and final deadline, of May 31, 2018, for the registration of phase-in substances, 1-100 tonnes, is fast approaching. BioReliance testing services fully comply with assay needs and designs, as outlined in the REACH regulation and compliance guidelines, to measure Toxicological Information (the mutagenicity, genotoxicity, or toxicity of chemicals). BioReliance focuses on testing for mutagenicity and focused toxicity studies. Thus we are your reliable source to evaluate and navigate the intricate testing paradigms required for REACH registration.

Available Assays and Services for EU REACH Testing
BioReliance offers an extensive array of testing services to assist in all phases of the REACH regulation including a broad spectrum of in vitro and in vivo toxicology testing services designed in accordance with REACH guidelines. All REACH testing assays are conducted in full compliance with all applicable guidelines and GLP regulations.

Under section 8 in the Annexes of the information, required Toxicological Information is outlined. In section 8.4, Mutagenicity testing assays are listed, which call for a tiered approach to toxicological assessment of substances. Further, under section 8.5 and 8.6 Acute Toxicity and Repeated Dose Toxicity assays are noted. Although the approach and procedures for testing are outlined, the interpretation of results and navigation of testing options requires expertise and experience. BioReliance has assembled the foremost collection of scientists available anywhere and thus you can rely on us to assist in your REACH testing needs.

Below is a list of assays outlined in the regulation. Please consult a BioReliance scientist for assistance in proper assay selection.
