Studies on Hazard and Risk Assessment

We are your experienced partner in testing of chemicals, plant protection products, biocides and pharmaceuticals, offering a broad range of GLP-compliant studies with standard freshwater test species to fulfil regulatory requirements for standard tier risk assessments at their best.

But our special competence are tests beyond the standard. We offer higher tier studies according to the Aquatic Guidance Document (EFSA PPR panel 2013), i.e. testing additional species or more realistic exposure situations in the laboratory or testing effects on freshwater communities in outdoor model ecosystems. More details for different groups of organisms are given below.

We offer a broad range of GLP-compliant studies (according to OECD 201, 221, 238, 239) with standard and non-standard freshwater algae and macrophytes.

We offer a broad range of GLP-compliant studies (according to OECD 202, 211) with standard and non-standard freshwater invertebrates.

We conduct fish tests, from fish embryo to long-term tests (according to OECD test guidelines 203, 236, 210, 215) and fish life cycle tests.

Mesocosm studies allow testing effects of test items under realistic outdoor conditions on a complex community of algae, macrophytes, zooplankton and macroinvertebrates. Based on our long-term experience with these studies we provide tailor-made test designs and high-quality studies.
