Our services Request support India’s Chemicals (Management And Safety) Rules India’s Chemicals (Management And Safety) Rules (ICMSR) also referred to as ‘India REACH’ will come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette, expected mid-2021, and will regulate all substances, substances in mixtures, and intermediates that are manufactured, imported or placed on the market in the Indian territory at quantities greater than 1 tonne per year. Regulatory compliance requirements will apply within 18 months of coming into force, and all Indian manufacturers and importers will need to comply. Non-Indian entities who wish to place their chemical products on the market in India will need to appoint an authorised representative (AR) located in India to act on their behalf (similar to EU REACH OR). If your company is currently manufacturing chemicals in India or exporting chemicals to India, ICMSR will affect you. CEHTRA-India registered office in New Delhi is well positioned to act as your AR and service provider and can help you secure the Notification or Registration certificate for your chemicals from India’s Chemical Regulatory Division.

Find answers here. What is ICMSR (India REACH) and how does it affect chemical manufacturers and importers in India? ICMSR, or India Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules, also known as India REACH, regulates all chemical substances, mixtures, and intermediates manufactured, imported, or sold in India in quantities ≥1 tonne per year. All Indian manufacturers and importers must comply with ICMSR to legally operate in the Indian chemical market. Non-compliance can result in penalties and restricted market access. How can non-Indian companies export chemicals to India under ICMSR regulations? Non-Indian companies wishing to sell chemical products in India must appoint an Authorised Representative (AR) based in India. The AR acts on behalf of the foreign company for notification, registration, and compliance with ICMSR, similar to the EU REACH OR system. CEHTRA-India can serve as your AR and guide your company through the entire compliance process. Comment suivre l’évolution des réglementations ? • Notification: All substances ≥1 tonne/year must be notified to India’s Chemical Regulatory Division (CRD), with annual updates. • Registration: Priority substances listed in Schedule II require a technical dossier within 18 months of inclusion. • Safety Data Sheet (SDS): Up-to-date UN-GHS SDS must be maintained and shared with downstream users. • Site Safety Report: Facilities handling hazardous chemicals must submit safety reports or audits depending on chemical quantities.

  • Pharmaceutical Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) | CEHTRA

    CEHTRA offers comprehensive ERA services to ensure pharmaceutical products meet environmental standards. Minimize environmental impact and maximize compliance with our expert guidance. Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) ERA assesses environmental risks posed by pharmaceutical products. It minimizes drug impact, identifies risk measures, and ensures proper disposal. CEHTRA provides expert guidance and independent study monitoring for compliance. Blandine JOURNEL Senior Ecotoxicologist, ERA blandine.journel@cehtra.com Stephane PIERRE Head of Pharmaceuticals stephane.pierre@cehtra.com Send us a message and we will answer you quickly. E-mail Company Your message Send Thank you for your submission! EU's Proposal to Strengthen Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) for Pharmaceutical Products In the EU, an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) has been required since 2006 (CPMP/SWP/4447/00, 20061) for any new application for marketing authorization (MA) for a drug, or when there is a potential for a significant increase in environmental concentrations following changes in use of existing MAs (e.g. addition of new indications). Drugs authorized before this date do not currently require an ERA. To achieve the environmental sustainability ambitions of the European Green Deal, the pharmaceutical industry will have to limit the negative impact of its products (and processes) on the environment, biodiversity and human health. Scientific evidence shows that pharmaceutical products are present in the environment as a result of their manufacture, use by patients and inappropriate disposal. The proposal to reform pharmaceutical legislation (Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the Union code relating to medicinal products for human use, and repealing Directive 2001/83/EC and Directive 2009/35/EC) meets a number of commitments on the strategic approach to pharmaceuticals in the environment. It strengthens the ERAof medicinal products to ensure better evaluation and limit the potential negative impacts of medicinal products on the environment and public health. In summary, the EU wishes to strengthen ERA for the marketing of pharmaceutical products by : Strengthening the ERA , by introducing a ground for refusal of marketing authorization when companies fail to provide sufficient evidence for ERA, or if the proposed risk mitigation measures are not sufficient to address the risks. Establish clearer requirements for ERA, including compliance with scientific guidelines, regular ERA updates and post-authorization obligation for additional ERA studies. Extend the scope of ERA to environmental risks arising from antibiotic manufacturing. Extend ERA to all products already on the market and potentially harmful to the environment. (COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS, Reform of the pharmaceutical legislation and measures addressing antimicrobial resistance, 26.4.2023) The aim of an ERA for pharmaceutical products is to : minimize the amount of drug released into the environment through appropriate measures. identify specific risk minimization measures to be undertaken by users. appropriate labeling, to facilitate proper disposal of the drug by patients/healthcare professionals (e.g. ensuring that drugs are disposed of in special containers or returned to pharmacies). The ERA is divided into 3 phases: Phase I: aims to identify the total environmental exposure of pharmaceutical products based on dosage and prevalence of the targeted pathology, and to study their potential for bioaccumulation and persistence in the environment. If specific risks are identified (estimated concentration in the environment greater than 0.01 µg/L, PBT substance or substance of concern), further assessment and a number of studies must be carried out (Phase IIA). Phase IIA: Phase II tests identify the fate of drugs in the environment and their potential effects on representative aquatic and terrestrial organisms, in order to assess whether the risk is acceptable. Phase IIB: If the risk is not considered acceptable, a refined assessment must be carried out (additional studies, modeling of environmental concentrations, risk management measures to be implemented). At CEHTRA, our ecotoxicologists can help you to prepare your ERA dossiers and monitor the studies required We have completed dozens of ERA dossiers in accordance with current guidelines. We are 100% independent of CROs , so we help our customers to carry out only the essential tests . The monitoring of studies by our consultants also ensures that our study reports are as robust as possible .

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?
