Why Managed IUCLID Services Are the Key to Regulatory Readiness
As Europe accelerates its transition to IUCLID-based regulatory systems, many organisations are discovering just how complex compliance management can be. Whether preparing biocides dossiers for the 2026 deadline or compiling microplastics reports due in 2026–2027, the challenge is the same: navigating a powerful but unforgiving system.
Understanding the EU Drinking Water Directive and the New European Positive Lists
The EU Drinking Water Directive is a cornerstone of European public health policy, designed to protect both human health and the environment from the harmful effects of contaminated drinking water. A key element of the Directive is its focus on materials that come into contact with drinking water, from the water source all the way to the consumer’s tap.
Poison Centre Notifications (PCNs): Common Mistakes That Delay Acceptance
Poison Centre Notifications (PCNs) are a key requirement for companies placing hazardous chemical mixtures on the EU market. The obligation applies to mixtures classified as hazardous to human health or due to physico-chemical properties. Required under Article 45 of the CLP Regulation, PCNs ensure that emergency health services have the information needed to respond effectively in case of exposure to hazardous mixtures.
