The Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) is one of the most critical stages in the process of registering pesticides, bio-inputs and new agricultural technologies. It defines whether a product can be used safely, without generating unacceptable environmental impacts, meeting IBAMA’s requirements within the tripartite registration system, together with MAPA and ANVISA.
We have transformed ERA into a strategic tool for the registry industry. Our performance goes beyond formal service to regulatory requirements: we structure solid technical assessments, customized for each product and usage scenario in Brazil.
Our technical approach
We work with methodologies aligned with the OECD and FAO guidelines, integrating two fundamental pillars:
- The intrinsic danger of the substance
- the expected environmental exposure under real conditions of use
This includes the careful assessment of effects on non-target organisms, such as:
- bees
- aquatic organisms
- birds
- building documents
- soil microorganisms
- other ecologically relevant groups
All analyzes are based on robust ecotoxicological studies and internationally recognized protocols, exactly in line with IBAMA’s technical expectations.
How we support your company
- Selection and application of appropriate exposure models: We choose and adjust models according to active ingredient, formulation and agricultural scenario, ensuring technically defensible risk characterizations.
- strategic data integration: We organize and interpret studies of toxicity, degradation and environmental behavior, transforming complex data into clear arguments for the regulatory dossier.
- Alignment with international standards: We apply approaches compatible with the European Union and the United States, strengthening scientific consistency and facilitating future market expansions.
Value for the registry industry
- more consistent environmental dossiers
- reduction of complementary requirements
- Less regulatory rework
- Time and resources optimization
- greater predictability in the registration process
- safer technical decisions.
