Technical active substance testing

Technical active substance testing services for the        Biocides Industry

In the biocide industry, ensuring the safety and efficacy of active substances is essential for product formulation and registration. CEMAS offers comprehensive active substance testing services to evaluate the quality, performance, and safety of biocidal products. Our testing supports the development and market authorisation of biocides used in, for example, disinfectants, pest control and preservatives.

Active substances are responsible for the intended effects in biocidal products. Testing these substances is a requirement to:

  • Ensure their effectiveness against target organisms.
  • Verify that they meet strict safety and quality standards.
  • Comply with regulatory requirements set by authorities such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR).

By conducting rigorous testing, we help companies in the biocide industry confirm that their active substances are fit for purpose, safe for humans and the environment, and ready for market approval.
