Ecotoxicology studies

The Rovaltain Research Staphyt laboratory (France) carries out all the test for the experimental evaluation of the ecotoxicological effect of substances and products on aquatic and terrestrial organisms/plants, as well as the monitoring of environmental fate (biodegradability – bioaccumulation – transfer between environmental compartments) of substances and products.
We thus help our customers to meet regulatory constraints such as MARKETING AUTHORIZATION, SDS, REACH, BIOCIDES, ECOLABELS…
