Toxicological Review Services at Airmid Healthgroup
Airmid Healthgroup provides independent toxicological review services for cleaning products, consumer goods, and indoor environment technologies — helping manufacturers understand the safety profile of their products, substantiate “non-toxic” or “safe for use” claims, and meet the requirements of regulators, retailers, and certification bodies.
What Is a Toxicological Review?
A toxicological review is a scientific assessment of the potential health risks associated with exposure to a product or its ingredients. It evaluates the nature, concentration, and route of exposure to chemical substances — and determines whether those levels of exposure pose a risk to human health under normal or foreseeable conditions of use.
For manufacturers of cleaning products, air care technologies, and surface treatments, a toxicological review is often a critical step in the regulatory approval process and a key component of consumer safety documentation.
What Does a Toxicological Review Cover?
Ingredient Safety Assessment
Evaluation of the toxicological profile of each active and inactive ingredient in your formulation, including acute toxicity, irritation, sensitisation, and chronic exposure risk.
Exposure Assessment
Assessment of realistic consumer exposure levels during normal and foreseeable use — including inhalation, dermal contact, and incidental ingestion routes.
VOC & Emissions Review
Review of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and their potential health impact — particularly relevant for cleaning sprays, air fresheners, and surface coatings used in indoor environments.
Regulatory Compliance Review
Assessment of compliance with relevant regulations including EU CLP, REACH, EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), and UK COSHH requirements.
Asthma & Allergy Considerations
Specific review of ingredients and emissions for potential to trigger asthma, allergic reactions, or respiratory irritation — supporting allergy-friendly certification applications.
Claims Substantiation
Scientific justification for product claims such as “non-toxic,” “safe for use around children and pets,” “fragrance-free,” or “low emission” — backed by independent expert review.
Who Needs a Toxicological Review?
A toxicological review is relevant for manufacturers and suppliers across a wide range of product categories, including:
- Household and commercial cleaning products
- Disinfectants and sanitisers
- Air fresheners and odour eliminators
- Surface coatings and treatments with antimicrobial claims
- Laundry and fabric care products
- Indoor air quality devices that release compounds into the air
- Consumer products seeking Asthma & Allergy Friendly® or similar certifications
- Products entering the EU market under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a toxicological review and laboratory testing?
Laboratory testing generates new experimental data about how a product performs or behaves. A toxicological review is a desk-based scientific assessment that evaluates existing data — including ingredient safety data, published literature, and regulatory databases — to determine the safety profile of a product. The two are often used together to build a complete picture.
Is a toxicological review required for EU BPR compliance?
Yes. The EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) requires a comprehensive toxicological assessment as part of the product authorisation dossier. Airmid’s team can prepare or contribute to this assessment in line with ECHA guidance and BPR data requirements.
Can a toxicological review support an “allergy-friendly” or “safe for children” claim?
Yes. A toxicological review that evaluates sensitisation potential, respiratory irritation risk, and exposure levels for vulnerable groups — including children, pregnant women, and allergy sufferers — can provide the scientific foundation needed to support these types of consumer-facing claims.
Can you review products that are already on the market?
Yes. Toxicological reviews are not limited to new product development. We also work with manufacturers of existing products who need to update their safety documentation, respond to regulatory queries, or strengthen the evidence base behind their current product claims.
How long does a toxicological review take?
A standard toxicological review typically takes 3–6 weeks depending on the complexity of the formulation and the depth of assessment required. For more complex products or full BPR dossier support, timelines will be agreed as part of the project proposal.
