OECD 497 provides Defined Approaches (DAs) for Skin Sensitisation assessment. It allows the Hazard Potential Identification (skin sensitiser / non-sensitiser) and GHS Classification into Potency subcategories 1A and 1B (H317) without animal tests.

Multiple information sources are taken into consideration to come to a conclusion:

In chemico test data (OECD 442C DPRA)

In vitro study data (OECD 442D KeratinoSens, OECD 442E h-CLAT)

In silico predictions (QSAR, DEREK Nexus)

TAB APCP ver 3.0 states that testing on corrosion to metals shall follow the UN Test C.1 AND it must be guaranteed that the content of the active substance throughout the test is kept stable, thus the composition should be checked/analysed throughout the test or at least at the end of the test.

If you are affected, contact us to discuss an individual strategy for testing your biocidal product.

Due to the geopolitical situation there are numerous bottlenecks in the supply chains of many companies. If you have identified a new, alternative supplier for your chemical, who has not imported into the EU yet, you need to make sure that you act in compliance with the EU chemicals regulation, REACH. You will need a Sameness analysis to proof the substance identity of the chemical to include your supplier in the respective REACH dossier. LAUS has extensive experience with Sameness analyses and could deliver reports within a few weeks’ time.

Clients who need analyses or experimental endpoints of a gaseous substance often have a problem with sample shipment. LAUS now has a „Travel Gas Cylinder”. This container can be shipped to pick-up your sample and has two major advantages:

• It has a good size for a reasonable amount of sample.
• It is equipped with the exact valve we can use in our system.

Talk to us if you are planning to test a gas, and we could discuss the requirements!
