Welcome to

At EBRC, we are a dynamic and forward-thinking privately-owned consulting firm based in Hannover, Germany. Since our founding, we have been passionately committed to supporting the chemical, biocidal, cosmetic, agrochemical, food, and feed additive industries in navigating the complex and evolving landscape of regulatory compliance and product safety.

Our mission is rooted in a clear vision: to empower our clients with scientific excellence and regulatory precision, while upholding the highest standards of human health and environmental protection. We believe regulatory science is more than a legal requirement—it’s a strategic asset that enables innovation, mitigates risk, and drives sustainable success.

With a multidisciplinary team with decades of experience, EBRC offers deep scientific and regulatory knowledge across all critical safety disciplines, including toxicology, ecotoxicology, environmental fate, risk assessment, and regulatory affairs. Whether you're seeking support under the EU REACH Regulation, the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), Plant Protection Products (PPP) legislation, or food and feed additive authorisation processes, we provide tailored solutions that ensure compliance and competitive advantage. We also have substantial expertise in the cosmetics sector, where safety, efficacy, and regulatory accuracy are essential for market success.

What truly distinguishes EBRC is our unique ability to foster collaboration across stakeholders. Beyond traditional consultancy, we act as strategic facilitators—coordinating task forces and managing industry consortia to drive efficient joint dossier submissions, harmonised data sharing, and aligned regulatory strategies. Our in-depth understanding of group dynamics, legal frameworks, and scientific requirements allows us to streamline even the most complex, multi-party regulatory projects.

At EBRC, we are more than just consultants—we are trusted partners committed to helping our clients turn regulatory challenges into opportunities for progress and innovation. With a strong foundation in scientific integrity, proactive project management, and practical problem-solving, we support our clients at every step of the regulatory journey.
