Plant Protection Products are subject to restrictive regulations: 

These days placing Plant Protection Products on the market is a heavily regulated affair, putting companies under serious pressure.

The new Regulation (EC) N° 1107/2009 adds new aspects to the existing system making it even more complex.
Furthermore, new constraints have been included such as compliance with potential hazardous property thresholds (e.g. PBT, CMR, endocrine disrupting properties, etc.), which require numerous inter-disciplinary skills. In addition, the importance of several other regulatory requirements has increased recently, like legislative control over adjuvants, biopesticides, data protection, making again the need for regulatory experts.

CEHTRA’s experience is a guarantee:

Plant Protection Products are the historical basis of CEHTRA’s activities. The two founding members – Pierre-Gérard PONTAL, a medic, and Philippe ADRIAN, an environmental chemist – were members of the Commission des Toxiques at the INRA SSM in France where they gained an unrivaled experience in dossier evaluation.

With more than 250 projects related to formulated pesticide products in European countries, CEHTRA’s experience in regulatory dossiers speaks for itself.

Over the last 10 years CEHTRA has dealt with nearly 20 active substances Annex I of 91/414/EC Directive related projects of which a dozen for complete dossiers and many others for dossier resubmissions. Furthermore, over the same timeframe, CEHTRA has completed 22 worker exposure study-related contracts of which 15 complete worker exposure studies were performed, several of which were designed for modeling purposes.

CEHTRA is also managing support for the development of new active substances in the EU. This work includes assistance in setting up programs, laboratory selection, study monitoring, issue management, registration strategy and dossier building up to the point of submission when required.

CASE STUDY:

CEHTRA has recently succeeded in the Annex I inclusion of 2 active substances from List 4 compounds (1-NAA and 1-NAD). CEHTRA was also in charge of the coordination of the Task Force, which allowed a very good cooperation with the client.

CEHTRA managed all the steps of these dossiers: study screening and data gap analysis, setting up of study program, laboratory selection, study monitoring in all sections (physic-chemistry and analytical methods, residues, toxicology, e-fate, ecotoxicology), preparation of the complete European dossier, and position papers contacts and follow up with the RMS and European Commission.
