Regulatory Compliance Support: Combining Scientific, Regulatory and Digital Expertise
- 2 days ago

Regulatory compliance rarely involves a single question.
Depending on the product, substance and target market, companies may need to address regulatory requirements, toxicological or ecotoxicological data, risk assessment, testing strategies, dossier preparation or ongoing regulatory monitoring.
This is why effective regulatory compliance support often requires several areas of expertise working together.
For more than 25 years, CEHTRA has supported manufacturers, formulators, distributors and importers across sectors including chemicals, biocides, plant protection products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food products and packaging. Our multidisciplinary teams combine regulatory affairs with toxicology, ecotoxicology, risk assessment and international regulatory expertise.
Regulatory and scientific support tailored to your project
There is no single approach to regulatory compliance.
A REACH registration project, for example, may involve dossier preparation or updates, IUCLID, testing strategies, scientific assessment and regulatory advice. A cosmetic project may instead require ingredient safety assessment, toxicological profiling, data gap analysis or preparation of a Cosmetic Product Safety Report. Plant protection projects can involve regulatory strategy, dossier preparation, human health and environmental risk assessment, modelling and post-submission support.
The objective is therefore not simply to provide a standard service, but to identify the expertise required for each specific project and market.
At CEHTRA, this support can cover regulatory strategy, scientific assessment, testing strategies, risk assessment, dossier preparation and regulatory submissions, depending on the sector and project.
Digital tools to complement regulatory expertise
Regulatory teams also need efficient ways to access, structure and monitor information.
CEHTRA has developed digital solutions that complement its consulting activities. CEHTRAWATCH, for example, provides structured regulatory and toxicological monitoring focused on a company’s substance portfolio, while COSMETICK combines structured toxicological data with functionalities supporting cosmetic safety assessment. CEHTRA also provides digital and in silico approaches through solutions such as Simply Predict and ED Pedia.
These tools are designed to support expert work rather than replace scientific or regulatory interpretation. CEHTRAWATCH itself is explicitly presented as a complement to internal teams and CEHTRA consultants.
Expertise when and where your teams need it
Regulatory needs can also change according to workload, internal resources or project timelines.
Alongside consulting and digital solutions, CEHTRA offers expert outsourcing through Flex+, with profiles that can support one-off assignments or longer-term projects. CEHTRA also provides regulatory and scientific training across areas including REACH, biocides, cosmetics, packaging, plant protection, toxicology and ecotoxicology.
This combination makes it possible to adapt the type of support to the situation: external consulting for a specific regulatory project, digital solutions for recurring activities, additional expert resources for internal teams, or training to strengthen in-house capabilities.
One regulatory challenge, the right combination of expertise
Whether the objective is to prepare a regulatory dossier, assess product safety, identify data gaps, monitor regulatory developments or strengthen an internal team, the first step is understanding exactly what the project requires.
CEHTRA brings together regulatory, scientific and digital capabilities to build support adapted to the product, sector and target market in Europe and internationally.
