Independent Laboratory Validations (ILV)
Oxford Analytical Services offers expert Independent Laboratory Validations (ILV), ensuring that analytical methods are reliable, reproducible and regulatory compliant. Our GLP compliant validation services support biocides, agrochemicals and industrial chemicals, helping manufacturers meet BPR, REACH, and PPP requirements with confidence.
Using state-of-the-art analytical techniques, we independently verify methods to confirm accuracy, precision, specificity and robustness – critical for regulatory submissions and product compliance.
Independent Laboratory Validation Challenges We Solve
Validating analytical methods to meet regulatory standards presents several challenges, including:
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring methods comply with BPR, REACH, PPP and OECD guidelines
- Data Integrity & Reproducibility: Generating consistent, high quality validation data to meet regulatory scrutiny
- Complex Formulations: Handling multi-component products, impurities and trace element analysis
- Tight Submission Deadlines: Delivering fast and accurate validation results to prevent regulatory delays
- Third-Party Confirmation: Providing independent verification to strengthen regulatory dossiers and submissions
Our scientifically rigorous approach ensures that your analytical methods meet the highest standards of precision and compliance.
