CEHTRAWATCH enables targeted regulatory and toxicological monitoring based on your substance portfolio. After importing your substance list, the platform automatically tracks their presence across multiple regulatory and toxicological lists. Relevant updates are identified and displayed in your dashboard or via alerts. Regulatory and toxicology teams no longer need to manually search multiple sources and can focus on impact analysis for their products and activities. How does CEHTRAWATCH help reduce compliance risks? Regulatory and toxicological changes can directly impact the use of substances. CEHTRAWATCH allows you to quickly identify whether a substance in your portfolio appears or evolves in a regulatory or toxicological list. Updates are integrated into the platform and changes between versions are highlighted. This targeted monitoring helps teams detect early changes that may affect compliance or risk assessment. Which regulatory and toxicological lists are monitored? CEHTRAWATCH monitors a wide range of regulatory and toxicological lists relevant to the chemical industry, including: European regulations (CLP, REACH, Cosmetics Regulation) SVHC and CLH intentions key national lists toxicological monographs (IARC, NTP…) toxicological reference values All updates are filtered based on your substance portfolio to ensure relevance. Does CEHTRAWATCH replace regulatory or toxicological expertise? No. CEHTRAWATCH does not replace human expertise. The platform facilitates the identification of relevant regulatory and toxicological changes, but impact assessment remains the responsibility of experts. It is designed as a complement to internal teams and CEHTRA consultants. Request support

Business-continuity planning and risk assessment to avoid disruptions. Looking for guidance on REACH Authorisation compliance? Find it here. What is REACH Authorisation and why is it required? REACH Authorisation is mandatory for substances of very high concern (SVHC) included in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation. Companies that manufacture, import, or use these substances must obtain authorisation to continue placing them on the EU market. CEHTRA helps you determine whether your substances are affected and provides strategic support to secure compliance and maintain market access. How do you prepare a successful REACH Authorisation dossier? A strong dossier requires several components: a Chemical Safety Report (CSR), an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and a Socio-Economic Analysis (SEA). These demonstrate both the safety of continued use and the socio-economic impact of substitution. CEHTRA’s multidisciplinary experts prepare and defend these dossiers, ensuring that your application meets ECHA’s requirements and stands up to committee review. What are the risks of missing REACH Authorisation deadlines? Failure to submit an authorisation application by the regulatory deadline means that the substance can no longer be legally placed on the EU market. This can disrupt supply chains and impact business continuity. CEHTRA supports companies in anticipating obligations, preparing dossiers on time, and defending their applications to avoid costly interruptions. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?

Find it here. What is the difference between MDR and IVDR in the EU? The Medical Devices Regulation (MDR – EU 2017/745) applies to general medical devices, while the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR – EU 2017/746) focuses on diagnostic devices such as reagents and tests used to examine human samples. Both regulations reinforce safety, clinical evidence and post-market surveillance requirements, but the IVDR introduces a more stringent classification system for diagnostics and closer involvement of Notified Bodies. CEHTRA supports companies in identifying the applicable framework and ensuring compliance with both MDR and IVDR obligations. How to prepare for CE marking of a medical device? CE marking demonstrates that a device complies with EU regulatory requirements and can be legally placed on the market. Preparation involves: Defining the intended use and classification of the device. Establishing a Quality Management System (QMS) compliant with ISO 13485. Conducting a biological safety and risk assessment (ISO 10993). Preparing the technical documentation including performance and safety data. Submitting the dossier to a Notified Body (when required). CEHTRA assists manufacturers throughout this process by providing regulatory strategy, dossier preparation, and expert responses to Notified Body questions.

An Endocrine Disruptor (ED) is a substance or a mixture that alters one or more functions of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse effects in an intact organism, its progeny, populations or subpopulations. Why is ED assessment required under EU regulations? Since 2018, ED assessment has been mandatory under the Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation. In 2023, new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors were added to CLP Regulation. Updates to REACH Regulation, cosmetic and pharmaceutical legislations are expected to extend these requirements further — making ED evaluation essential for market access and compliance in the EU. Is there an official list of endocrine disruptors in the EU? There is currently no single, definitive EU list of all endocrine disruptors. However, several regulatory lists and databases identify or flag substances with suspected or proven ED properties: The ED assessment list published by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) The list of approved and non-approved active substances under Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation The Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH Regulation In France, the Annex I of AGEC law lists substances identified as potential ED These lists are updated regularly, and companies should monitor them closely to anticipate regulatory impacts on their substances or products. CEHTRA has designed a digital tool to detect the presence of substances in those and many other lists of suspected or proven ED. Such data must be interpreted with caution and reviewed by an expert that CEHTRA can provide. Discover Simply Predict Can’t find your answer? Submit a request

Chemical Risk Assessment Toxicological hazard assessment Evaluation of exposure to substances resulting from contact, migration, or handling of chemical products or articles (e.g. consumer goods such as textiles, sporting goods, fashion accessories, toys, or olfactory decoration items). What’s Included in a Chemical Risk Assessment? Any contact, handling or use of a chemical product or substance may require a risk assessment to ensure the safety of operators, consumers and the environment, as part of an innovation project or regulatory obligations (REACH, GPSR, etc.). Toxicological assessment: assessing the intrinsic capacity of a substance to cause harm and deriving toxicological reference values. Exposure modelling and estimation: assessing the emission process of a chemical substance in contact with humans and the environment, and quantifying their exposure using calculation models. Looking for guidance on chemical risks? Find it here. Who is required to perform a chemical risk assessment, and under which regulatory framework? In the workplace, employers must identify the chemical products used by their employees and assess the risks to their health. This obligation is part of the Single Risk Assessment Document (DUER) required under the French Labour Code. For the placing on the market of chemical substances or articles, manufacturers, importers, and distributors must ensure compliance with European regulations (REACH, CLP, GPSR, etc.) and provide all necessary information, including Safety Data Sheets, exposure scenarios, as well as clear labelling and appropriate instructions for use, to guarantee safe handling and use by both workers and consumers. What are the differences between chemical risks in workplace and those related to consumer products? In the workplace, workers may be regularly exposed over long periods to high concentrations of chemical substances. The implementation of appropriate collective and personal protective equipment (PPE) can help reduce these exposures. Consumers, on the other hand, use consumer products (such as cosmetics, cleaning agents, paints, toys, textiles, etc.) occasionally or repeatedly, which generally contain substances at low concentrations. However, these products concern the general population, including children and vulnerable individuals, and are used without specific protective measures. What should be done when restricted chemical substances exceed the recommended thresholds? Exceeding restriction thresholds requires immediate action: assessing the risk to determine the extent of the non-compliance, securing the manufacturing chain (including substance portfolio management, production processes, and substitution), withdrawing or recalling affected products, and strengthening preventive measures for both workers and consumers.

Discover together – a collaborative alliance for biocides Supporting companies with flexible, confidential and cost-efficient regulatory solutions. Discover Looking for guidance on biocides? Find it here. How can a substance qualify for use as an active substance for biocides in EU? A substance can only be used for this if certain conditions are met: The substance must be assessed and formally approved based on a scientific evaluation performed by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the EU Member States. An active substance dossier includes comprehensive data on the substance’s identity, physicochemical properties, (eco-))toxicological profile, environmental fate, and intended uses. The assessment must demonstrate that the substance is effective for the intended biocidal purpose and no unacceptable risks to human health, animal health, or the environment are found. Once approved, the substance is included in the Union list of approved active substances, published by ECHA. Only after these steps can a substance be eligible for use in the EU. CEHTRA’s expert team have a proven track record of preparing and submitting active substance dossiers (new approvals, renewals, Annex I inclusions, etc.) and supporting companies until successful approval is established. How do I place a biocidal product or a biocidal product family on the market in the EU? To place a biocidal product or a biocidal product family (BPF) on the market in the EU, companies must prepare and submit a comprehensive dossier according to the criteria set by the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). These dossiers typically include data on physicochemical properties, efficacy, (eco-)toxicological hazard profiles and risk assessments. The submission can be made through national schemes or via the EU central authorisation process (ie. BPR procedure), dependent on the EU status. With deep expertise and knowledge in the BPR framework, CEHTRA can assist in the entire process from dossier preparation, designing testing strategies, and managing the dossier until the successful authorization reached, allowing market access for biocidal products in EU and national markets. What is the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, EU 528/2012) and who needs to comply with it? The main goal of the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) is to ensure a high level of protection for humans, animals, and the environment, by harmonizing the process via an EU-procedure that allows improving the functioning of the market for biocidal products such as disinfectants, wood preservatives, pest control products, and antifouling products. To sell these products within EU, companies must meet strict BPR requirements. Approval of active substances used in the products and biocidal product authorisations are mandatory before going to the market. The complexity of EU requirements for biocidal products, including active substances used in these products, requires a dedicated understanding of the Regulation (EU) 528/2012. At CEHTRA, our experienced regulatory team is able to guide you in selecting the right steps towards full BPR compliance. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?
