Chemical Registration and Regulatory Services
Our flexible approach means that we can strive to meet most regulatory needs. Seren can evaluate the most appropriate regulatory path for your chemical or product with the correct authority in Australia and New Zealand. We provide a comprehensive stewardship service from the preparation of dossiers through to registration. Seren’s staff are experienced in acting as an interface between manufacturers, importers and the regulators.
the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) has now replaced NICNAS. This new scheme provides a unique approach to chemical regulation with a stronger emphasis on risk. Seren Consulting can assist in navigating the new framework to understand the best pathway to compliance and meet the desired business needs.
Australia has implemented the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Seren Consulting can assist with classification according to the Australian GHS and create bespoke Safety Data Sheets in line with the Australian guidelines.
The New Zealand GHS and regulatory process is unique and can be difficult to navigate. Seren can assist in determining if your product is classified as hazardous in New Zealand and whether a Group Standard is available.
Seren can assist with interpretation of the Australian Poisons Standard (SUSMP) and can prepare independent applications to the Scheduling Committee.
