Regulatory Affairs

Imtrade combines comprehensive scientific resources with a high level of regulatory expertise, developed over many years in the agrochemical industry, to provide a world's best practice standard of service in dossier preparation and regulatory submissions.

This expertise, developed to achieve registrations for our expanding line of products, is also available as a service to our clients, on whose behalf we are consistently able to achieve product registrations valid for most jurisdictions around the world.

Our high-tech laboratories in Australia and India are staffed by qualified chemists, biochemists and toxicologists, and are equipped to undertake batch analysis, toxicological studies and environmental fate studies to support submissions. We work to the international quality standard ISO 9001, and our laboratories are in the process of securing GLP accreditation.

Our in-depth understanding of the regulatory process can be measured by our own extensive list of product registrations – one of the largest and fastest-growing in Australia – and in our expanding sales in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe.

Specialist services and capabilities we can offer to our clients include:

• Environmental toxicology studies on a wide range of agrochemical products and ingredients. We have the capacity to study potentially dangerous materials, including volatile substances.
• Environmental fate studies to measure the performance of materials in any type of soil or environmental conditions that may be encountered worldwide.
• Animal feeding studies to examine the possible impact of residues produced by animal food products.
• Dermal penetration / absorption studies to determine possible skin penetration of products on both humans and animals.
• Plant metabolism studies are carried out on a wide range of crops including cereals, grasses, legumes and root crops, pulses, leaf crops and many fruit varieties.
• Field trials are conducted in Australia and India, and other locations to suit specific client needs. Field trials cover product performance and also the possible effects on operators applying the products.
• Residue analysis is carried out at our laboratories to provide the data necessary to support product registration submissions. The laboratories are equipped to carry out analyses relating to field studies, animal feeding studies, environmental toxicology and operator exposure trials.
• Product characterisation tests are carried out to support the international registration of finished products and active ingredients.
