Navigating a product to market is a complex process that requires expert assessment to determine the chemical composition of products and their potential hazards to human health and the environment. To assess the hazards and fulfil regulatory obligations often requires the generation of new data, in the form of endpoint studies

Contract Research Organisations (CROs) offer a wide range of GLP compliant analytical and toxicological testing services on chemicals under established OECD or EN guidelines.

CROs specialise in different areas of testing, so finding one that fits your regulatory needs can become complex and time-consuming.

How can Yordas help?

At Yordas Group, we work with an established global network of CROs that provide testing services for a broad range of chemicals, markets and industries. We can tailor the testing strategy and the choice of the CROs to help you meet your regulatory obligations, product development needs and quality standards with an approach that ensures our methods are relevant, cost-effective and meaningful for your goals.

At Yordas, we pride ourselves on the depth of our in-house scientific expertise. Our Science team consists of chemists, (eco)toxicologists, risk assessment, nano and environmental fate specialists. Our chemists have successfully characterised hundreds of complex UVCBs including petroleum products, pigments and dyes to support substance identification for regulatory purposes including inquiry dossiers, PPORD notifications, joint and lead registration dossiers as well as substance evaluation requirements. Yordas’ toxicologists have demonstrable expertise with all types of regulatory testing including, higher tier toxicological testing such as OECD 414, 408, and 443 for substance evaluation under REACH.

Yordas can act as an independent study monitor for companies providing the following services:

• Ensure the commissioned labs comply with our rigorous supplier evaluation process

• Communicate with the labs to organise quotations, contracts and provide regular updates

• Ensure the testing commissioned is fit for purpose (through communication with labs and the regulators as required

• Review study plans against guidelines and requirements

• Discuss and agree on amendments as needed throughout the study

• Provide interpretation of results and detail their impact on the registration as a whole

• Review draft and final study reports (including those for method validation, preliminary studies and main study)
