® TECHNICAL CONSULTING “ How to design suitable registration data sets for your unique products?” There are many guidelines and regulations which need to be followed during authorization processes especially for biocides. However, these documents and the mentioned methods cannot be applied to each product and each application. Therefore, a practical and technical evaluation is always required and mandatory. In addition, tests may need to be adjusted for products which are not covered by the method descriptions. We as BioGenius define this kind of support as “Technical Consulting” and we are looking forward to supporting you with our following services: • Evaluate the technical status of your products • Screen your products and applications for possible challenges • Create possible solutions for your products and applications • Suggest possible improvements • Discuss possible test scenarios with the competent authorities • Adjust available methods for your products • Prepare statements for the competent authorities to support the tests / argumentations • Create new tests to represent the product application in reality Page 22 TECHNICAL CONSULTING
