Polymer Registration

Our detailed regulatory knowledge and expert testing capability will provide you with the chemical data you need for new polymer registration. This includes average molecular weight (Mw), polymer composition and precise submission documentation. Whilst high molecular weight polymers may be exempted under REACH, manufacturers and importers of polymers may still be required to register monomers or other substances used as the building blocks of the polymer. Other regulatory concerns include SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) and Volatile Organic Compounds in the polymer materials. Tight regulations exist for Food contact materials (e.g. European Food Contact Substances Authorization) and pharmaceutical packaging in particular where migration or leachable testing provide data for our toxicology consultants to review, or review of testing date to explore Non Intentionally Added Substances - NIAS which help clients to make informed decisions about new packaging development or new product development.
