Global product stewardship and regulatory support for your products and substances.
Global Product Stewardship & Regulatory Support
Navigate regulatory frameworks globally
The chemical industry faces rapidly evolving regulations worldwide.
Many countries are adopting REACH-like frameworks, and in highly regulated regions such as the EU and USA, more chemicals are coming under scrutiny faster than ever. Companies also face regulations promoting climate-neutral and circular supply chains.
What We Do
Proactive regulatory intelligence for compliant, sustainable chemical management
At Penman Consulting, we help organisations anticipate, interpret, and navigate complex regulatory requirements. Our specialists combine scientific expertise with regulatory insight to ensure market access and long-term business sustainability.
Our Active Steward™ platform unifies regulatory data in a secure, cloud-based hub, simplifying compliance management and giving visibility of regulatory liabilities and future costs at both substance and product levels.
Our team provides tailored support to help you avoid penalties, protect your brand, reduce operational and environmental risks, and stay informed of evolving legislation.
The Challenge
Mitigating risks from accelerated substance prioritisation.
Evolving regulations and faster substance prioritisation increase scrutiny from authorities, requiring companies to keep pace with frequent updates, respond to new classifications, and manage the risk of unjustified reclassifications that could threaten both market access and business continuity.
The Solution
Managing compliances with confidence.
REACH Registrations and Only Representative Services
We support full REACH registrations, including IUCLID dossier preparation and management, and provide Only Representative (OR) services to enable non-EU manufacturers to maintain compliant access to the EU market.
Poison Centre Notifications (PCNs)
Our team prepares and submits Poison Centre Notifications in accordance with Annex VIII of CLP, ensuring accurate mixture information is delivered to EU poison centres for emergency health response.
HCNOF and OSPAR Registrations
We manage HCNOF and OSPAR registrations, supporting compliance for products placed on the market in regulated environmental and offshore contexts.
Registration, Notification, and Substance Verification
We verify the presence and appropriateness of substance registrations and import notifications, including confirmation of substance identity, CAS numbers, and regulatory status.
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Authoring and Review
Our experts create, review, and manage Safety Data Sheets, including extended SDSs (eSDS), ensuring alignment with CLP, REACH, and downstream user requirements.
SCIP and Microplastics Reporting
We prepare and manage SCIP submissions in IUCLID to meet Waste Framework Directive obligations and develop annual IUCLID reports for intentionally added microplastics, supporting emerging environmental reporting requirements.
Regulatory, Exposure, and Risk Assessments
We conduct science-based regulatory assessments, including Endocrine Disruptor evaluations, exposure assessments, and human health and environmental risk assessments to support compliance and decision-making.
Product Statements, Certifications, and Customer Documentation
We prepare compliance statements and certifications such as GLP and FDA confirmations, Kosher/Halal statements, animal testing declarations, and responses to customer questionnaires.
Regulatory Monitoring and Strategic Advice
We provide forward-looking regulatory guidance on new and evolving chemical regulations and regulatory decisions, helping businesses anticipate and respond to change.
Legal, Supply Chain, and Transactional Support
Our experts support legal and compliance considerations related to chemical regulations, including advocacy and litigation, as well as regulatory due diligence for new or changing supply chains, acquisitions, and divestments.
The Result
Our proactive approach ensures your interests are represented, your products remain compliant, and unnecessary classifications are challenged where appropriate.
