Eucomed Eucomed MDCPartners/Ecotrac presents at Eucomed in Brussels
On the 25th April 2007 David Cocker gives the European Confederation of Medical Devices (Eucomed) insight into the impact of the new European Registration Evaluation Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) which puts new demands on the level of communication between all parties involved in the use or importation of chemical substances in Europe. Ecotoxicology is a serious constituent of the REACH program. However, this new European legislation is extremely complex and requires in-depth knowledge not only of the science underpinning the legislation but also the processes of collating information necessary for registration as required by the new Chemical Agency.
MPCPartners/Ecotrac have developed a “state of play” report to help international companies manage their European compliance REACH commitments.

e today and we look forward to his presentation on the latest news about the REACH process and the future interaction with the newly created Chemicals Agency in Helsinki.” Dr Hector Galicia of Ecotrac-Bioagri gave an excellent overview of the intelligent testing strategies which would support any chemical safety assessment and is an essential part of the REACH assessment process with the important aim to reduce reliance on animal testing. The final part of the short course was a practical hands-on session of the new OECD (Q)SAR toolbox. of the new OECD (Q)SAR toolbox software.
