Wood preservatives are biocides. The active substance and the formulation require testing to make sure the product is safe to use with respect to human health and the environment.

LAUS could support you with:

• Stability studies
• Chemical analyses/5-batch
• Physico-chemical properties
• Aquatic toxicology
• Environmental fate
• In vitro toxicology

In view of the tragic flood disaster in the Ahr valley, we have decided to make our charitable donation this year not just for Christmas, but immediately and as directly as possible.

• updates and corrections to OECD TGs on June 26, 2020
• few changes to the List

When it comes to Novel Food authorization, LAUS can support you with testing to fulfil Novel Food Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 and EFSA requirements:

• Chemical Identity/characterization and composition (CoA)

• Genotoxicity
• Dissolution in artificial body fluids/Bioaccessability

LAUS could support you with Biodegradability testing to meet the COSMOS requirements and definitions for organic and/or natural cosmetics. For chemically processed agro-ingredients the accepted methods and criteria for biodegradability are:

- OECD 301A, percentage of degradation > 70%

- OECD 301B, OECD 301D, OECD 301F or OECD 310 meet a percentage degradation > 60%

We are proud to announce that LAUS has passed the regular inspection by the authorities of the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and our GLP status has been confirmed. The originally appointed date in November 2020 had been postponed due to the pandemic measures. This has been the first on site audit in a GLP laboratory in Rheinland-Pfalz since then. Although it has been conducted under very strict stipulations to avoid any risk of infection, all areas could be inspected without exception.
