REACH services
We are a leading supplier of REACH compliance services, assisting chemical manufacturers, importers and downstream users comply with their REACH Regulation responsibilities. Our internationally renowned team of experienced scientific experts provide a complete and extensive range of services related to chemical toxicology, supporting you in all stages of your REACH registrations and beyond. Indeed, bibra scientists contributed to the scientific and regulatory content of the official ECHA guidance documents.
Principal toxicologist, Chris Waine, has written an article for Speciality Chemicals Magazine on "Improving REACH dossier quality prior to evaluation". Click here to read his thoughts on the importance of updating your REACH registration dossier before an ECHA evaluation is underway.
Track record
We have worked on hundreds of successful REACH lead and co-registrations for the three REACH deadlines, on for example, precious metals, petrochemical additives, SVHCs, fragrances and intermediates. Our clients have included Consortia and companies of all sizes. We continue to be heavily involved in REACH, assisting several Consortia with their responses to complex Evaluation-driven Compliance Check decisions involving human health. When it comes to meeting these REACH requirements, therefore, we are very well placed to assist you.
CLP
The CLP Regulation goes hand-in-hand with REACH. All registrants are required to consider the human health hazards of their substances and include an appropriate Classification and Labelling proposal in the registration dossier. As experts in toxicological hazard characterisation with a long track-record of successful REACH submissions, we are your ideal partners for CLP-related tasks.
IUCLID
REACH and CLP submissions are prepared in the IUCLID software. We have worked with this programme for many years, and are familiar with its formats and peculiarities. Our dedicated IUCLID server is constantly backed up, ensuring the utmost protection of your data.

Some of our case studies in this area
Making sense of skin sensitisation
Blog articles
From cosmetics to cleaning products, skin allergy (sensitisation) is a prominent feature of our modern chemical-centric world. Put simply, this hazard is an abnormal reaction of the immune system which makes certain individuals overly sensitive to particular chemicals. Read more in our blog, to help you make sense of sensitisation.
Knowledge is key. Part 2: The bibra TRACE database (and supporting databank)
Blog articles
In Part 1, Peter Watts gave a potted history of his personal early experience in literature searching and toxicity data identification. Along with our colleagues of the same 'fine vintage', he weathered the storms of change, progressing from a time of back-strain (from carrying huge texts around) and index finger wear (turning pages) to dial-up and then to web-based searching. With your indulgence, Pete would now like to expand a little regarding TRACE and its value to clients and the bibra toxicologists.
