Regulatory Support

Intertek Cantox professionals have detailed knowledge of the applicable legislation and regulations which govern consumer products and other regulated or notifiable materials in North America, Europe, and other jurisdictions around the world.

We continually survey regulatory policies and practices to provide clients with timely information that reflects developments and changes. Our understanding of the intricacies and processes of regulatory agencies is unsurpassed. This combination of knowledge and experience aids our clients in developing effective, timely, and successful regulatory strategies.

Product Development

The experts at Intertek Cantox can work as part of your team from the concept stage right through to bringing products to market.

We develop strategies for product positioning and how to maximize this positioning, review and analyze manufacturing processes for compliance to regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions, ensure product specifications meet appropriate standards, and help assess product marketability from a scientific and regulatory standpoint.

Scientific Support

We have been providing clients with study protocol development and placement of non-clinical toxicology and nutritional testing programs for decades.

Our staff has extensive hands-on experience monitoring and auditing safety and clinical trials. We work closely with clients to design and monitor studies and to audit testing facilities to ensure protocol consistency and compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards.

Safety/Risk Assessment

Our senior scientific staff has helped develop methods and strategies for risk assessment and management at the national and international levels and are recognized leaders in the field.

We assist clients in evaluating the potential health risks posed by consumer products, foods, supplements and natural products, biomaterials, biotechnology products, and industrial or agricultural chemicals and workplace substances. Risk assessments we have prepared for products or products inadvertently contaminated during processing or distribution have been used extensively to support corporate strategies for risk management and communication.
