Blue Frog Scientific provides comprehensive regulatory support to manufacturers, importers, and distributors, ensuring that active substances and biocidal products comply with EU and GB/NI jurisdictional legislation. This permits products to be authorised and placed on the market in the European Union, and Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR - Regulation (EU) 528/2012) and the GB/NI equivalent present a series of complex regulatory hurdles that must be overcome to receive marketing authorisation. Our approach is thorough and pragmatic. We present clients with all available options, provide considered and practical recommendations, agree on the most appropriate way forward, and support clients through to approval, authorisation, and representation.
Approval of Active Substances
Our team specialises in the strategic development and submission of dossiers necessary for the approval of active substances under the BPR. We assess and compile robust scientific data that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of active substances, ensuring compliance with the latest regulatory standards.
Authorisation of Biocidal Products
We guide clients through the intricate process of biocidal product authorisation. From the initial dossier preparation to the final approval stages, our experts ensure that all submissions meet the specific safety and efficacy requirements stipulated by the BPR. Our service includes detailed risk assessments and advice on the sustainable use of biocides.
