How do we prepare for, and respond to, a world where biocontrol agents are not only discovered in nature, but increasingly designed, while navigating a regulatory system that is still evolving?

How do we demonstrate the safety of biocontrol agents in ways that reflect their biological nature and behaviour, using evidence that is truly relevant to how they act?

How do we frame biocontrol agents clearly enough to fit within today’s regulatory framework, yet flexibly enough to ensure they’re assessed on their own biological terms, not by chemical-era rules?

Beyond Ames: Strengthening REACH Genotoxicity Testing Strategies.

• Is the Ames test enough for low tonnage chemicals?
• Does the Ames test alone risk undetected mutagenicity?
• How can a more proactive approach help to future proof dossiers?

Why Maintaining REACH Dossier Quality Matters for Your Business | Blue Frog Scientific

Under the EU REACH Regulation, registrants carry a continuous responsibility to keep dossiers accurate, up to date, and compliant. Over time, some registrants may assume that once a registration has been accepted, the work is “done.” In reality, that’s rarely the case.
