The role of a biocidal provider is to accompany you throughout the production process of your product, but also help you in marketing your product. To save time, it is preferable to have a single contact for all your regulatory applications regarding a biocidal product.
Suggested procedures before requesting a quote:
- Set a specification.
- Look for specialized service providers in the chemical regulatory field.
- Check their e-reputation: are they dynamic on the Web and on social networks? Are they present on various channels of communication?
- Read customer testimonials, Business cases, etc. to estimate the relevance of the services offered in relation to your needs.
- Call different providers to get an initial telephone impression. Before sending a quote, a first strategic diagnosis will be established and will be able to narrow down your choices facing the clarity and precision made to your requests.
These steps are crucial, and will enable you save time.
Finally, following your discussions with the service provider, it will prompt you to establish an inventory of your requirements and offer you the most suitable strategies for your products, target market, and help you minimize your costs.

Indeed, whatever the size of your business, the marketing of a biocidal product represents a significant investment.

What should your biocide provider be able to technically control?
The placing on the market of a product is complex. You should choose a provider who accompanies you from the creation to the submission of your application and can technically master in its entire elements.
Scientific and toxicological arguments:
An expert will help you determine a scientific argument with the realization of the "data gap" as well as toxicological and ecotoxicological data (Read across, QSAR…).

Your provider will also handle the collection of relevant data such as efficiency, residue analysis, analytical data, etc. These data are essential for the development of the Authorization Dossier of your biocidal product necessary for its marketing.
Administrative and IT management:
Lastly, it will also take care of the administrative part which takes place in two phases. It will initially deal with creating the dossier in IUCLID format , and generate the power in order to submit a second time via the R4PB portal.
The provider: an essential political intermediary
Defense of your interests with the competent authorities:
Your provider must have the ability to defend your interests in the institutions. So it is best to choose a company that can make representations on your behalf to ECHA and BPC (Biocidal Product Committee) as well as from the Member State (MS) assessor who will validate your submission authorization.
The provider must be available in order to manage the exchange if asked for additional information. Better to choose a familiar and regulatory expert in various European chemical regulations to ensure proximity to the institutions. It is also your reference for your requests for AMM (marketing authorization) and for requests of mutual recognition.
