Classification and Labelling / GHS (CLP)

Advice can be provided on the appropriate classification and labelling in accordance with the  requirements in Europe, Canada or Australia.  Advice on GHS (EU CLP) can also be offered.  More information can be found on the page Safety Data Sheets and Labelling for Supply

Where data sets are incomplete, data searches will be made  and where possible, data will be read across from similar classes of material.   Only if there is no alternative will new Laboratory Testing be recommended.

Data review for existing substances ( REACH / HPV programmes)

Whether under the US HPV programme or for REACH, Denehurst can collate and review data and then prepare a summary as required.  Data gaps can be identified and attempts made to read across data from other substances.  If necessary and no alternatives can be found, new Laboratory Testing may need to be commissioned and help can be provided in selecting a suitable laboratory and ensuring protocols meet requirements. 

Laboratory testing
Using well established links with Contract Research Organisations, testing for toxicology, physico-chemistry, ecotoxicology and environmental fate can be set up to meet appropriate regulatory requirements. Being independent, Denehurst can help place testing work with the Contract Research Organisations that provide the best service in specific areas. 

Recommendations are made for specific facilities to meet the project requirements and to ensure compliance with the correct GLP and test guidelines.
 
Careful choice of laboratory and close monitoring of work can significantly reduce the cost and time of a test programme of Laboratory Testing.  Every effort is made to reduce the burden of Animal Testing.

REACH
Full support and training for REACH is offered by Denehurst covering all areas, from legal requirements, supply chain issues, testing, data gap analysis, IUCLID, CSR etc. 

Denehurst is also involved with REACHReady project.  More information can be found on the REACHReady web-site at http://www.reachready.co.uk/

Risk Assessment / CSR

EU format Risk Assessments can be prepared for New and Existing Substances as well.  This includes review of data, liaison with the production sites and users of the chemicals and submission to regulators to ensure correct exposure scenarios are used and suitable risk management measures are found.

EUSES and TRA tools can be used as part of the risk assessment procedure.

As well as preparing risk assessments (REACH chemical safety reports), training is also offered.

Safety Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets can be prepared or reviewed for regulatory compliance. Guidance for the compilation of Safety Data Sheets and Labelling for Supply are provided on other pages.  Support can be given in terms of reviewing or up-dating existing SDSs or preparing new documents.   Advice can also be given for labelling. 

Denehurst has extensive experience in working with US chemical suppliers who need to have internationally compliant SDSs (or MSDSs if in US) which must meet tough standards to reduce the risk of litigation in the US, but still provide correct classification details for Europe. The new Annex II requirements in Europe is making further changes and support can be given with extended SDS (known as e-SDS) as well as CLP.

Training

Lecturing or in-house training is offered on all the topics listed above.  A separate web-page describes the Training service in full, but the main principle behind this is to provide industry with the skills and tools to help themselves. 

Other Services

Links have been established with other consulting organisations to extend the range of services further than the expertise within Denehurst.  This includes organisations working  in different geographical regions as well as those specialising in other types of products.

Good working links have been established with technical translators.
