CHEMICALS & RISK CHEMICALS & HAZARD REGULATORY COMPLIANCE REACH TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

August 2006

PFA is pleased to announce some changes:

  • At the UK QSAR Society Spring Meeting (hosted by Accelrys in Cambridge) Peter Fisk Associates and Envision Chemistry displayed a poster describing the applications of QSAR techniques in chemical risk profiling. The conference discussed the latest developments in QSAR methods, with particular reference to pharmaceutical research and development, providing a lot of useful information for delegates. Please click here for a copy of the Peter Fisk Associates/Envision Chemistry handout.
       
  • Peter Fisk Associates is now a Limited Company (from 1st August 2006).
       
  • We have recently moved to new premises (May 2006) and have a new office telephone number (mail can still be directed to the existing address).

    Other news:

  • With implementation of REACH not far away, PFA is very pleased to be currently involved with REACH compliance projects for two major industrial clients.

    PFA has been monitoring changes to the proposed legislation, and are aware of the requirements the Regulation will impose on industry, and of the way modelling and read across can be used to minimise cost in complying with the legislation.
       
  • The Long Chain Aliphatic Alcohols HPV category (ICCA/OECD) was discussed at SIAM 22 in Paris in April 2006. This large category, for which PFA was involved with the physicochemical and environmental aspects of the submission, attracted relatively little comment in the discussion process and is expected to be finalised and published soon.
       
  • The February 2006 meeting of the Regulatory Physicochemical Characterisation Group focussed on ecotoxicity testing issues, was well attended and a very useful day. Contact us for information about the group and details of the next meeting.
