Chemex works to Japanese standards and guidelines.

In 2002 Chemex was approached by a Japanese Consultancy to form a strong working relationship where Japanese chemical producers would have testing for registration in Japan conducted at Chemex.  In the years that have followed Chemex have supplied aquatic toxicology data for nearly one hundred chemical registrations in Japan.

Working with Japanese companies has had a positive influence on all work conducted at Chemex.  The attention to detail that is expected for Japanese registration has been incorporated into all studies conducted by the Chemex ecotoxicology department.

The majority of tests conducted at Chemex for Japanese customers are Algal Growth Inhibition (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), Daphnia Acute Toxicity (Daphnia magna) and Fish Acute Toxicity (Cyprinus carpio).

Our representative in Japan keeps Chemex up to date with any changes in the local regulations and test guidelines so you can rest assured that any work conducted at Chemex will be acceptable to current requirements.
