Toxicological Risk Assessment
Toxicological Risk Assessment
Our Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA) services include:
- Evaluation of the toxicity of the individual chemical ingredients of the formulation used to manufacture the product:
- Each ingredient is assessed for its hazard or “inherent” toxicity such as acute toxicity, skin/eye irritancy, potential for skin sensitization, reproductive, genotoxic, or carcinogenic activity, in relation to the potential for consumer exposure to the chemical
- Potential for synergistic or unpredictable adverse effects from the combination of ingredients in the formulation
- Exposure considerations:
- characteristics of the product such as physical form and size/volume
- accessibility (e.g. liquid components)
- intended use
- Consideration of potential for misuse of the product
- Packaging compliance guidance and advice on mandatory label requirements
