Chemical Hazard Characteristics Prediction Service

In recent years, the management on chemicals are becoming more stringent, which requires related companies to strengthen the risk assessments for substances. This increased the barriers for market entry of substances that pose potential risks to the environment or human health.

For instance, China has released the Framework of Technical Standards for Environmental Risk Assessment and Management of Chemical Substances (2024 Edition) to standardize the environmental risk screening, assessment, and management of chemical substances, emphasizing strict management of substances with persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT), persistence, mobility, and toxicity (PMT), as well as those with carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxicity (CMR). Besides, a great many countries/regions have also implemented necessary management measures, including evaluation, authorization, restriction and prohibition, on substances, especially PBTs, PMTs, and CMRs.

As a result, it is particularly important for enterprises to understand the hazard characteristics of their products and to actively reduce or eliminate the production of hazardous chemicals. Enterprises should focus on developing safer, eco-friendly, and recyclable green chemicals or alternatives products.

CIRS Group is able to provide predictive service for the chemicals with hazard characteristics. Upon receiving the basic product identification information, such as molecular and structural formulas, we can access authoritative databases to perform multi-model QSAR estimations. Additionally, we can commission professional third-party organizations to conduct bioaccumulation or persistence screening tests. The results can be compiled into a predictive report on the substance's hazard characteristics using a weight-of-evidence (WOE) approach, presented to clients. This helps companies predict the hazardous properties of target substances before developing or registering chemicals, enhancing their competitive edge for global market access.
