Prepare your fertilizer dossier for your target market

Tell us your target country to define the applicable pathway. Our bilingual knowledge base below covers Morocco, with a comparison of the French framework.

The applicable route depends on composition, intended use and claims. Certification, authorization and exemption procedures must not be treated as interchangeable.

We review the documentation available for the product and identify missing information, national requirements and the next steps for dossier preparation.

Understanding registration

A legal authorization based on scientific evidence

Registration confirms that the product is effective and that its risks are acceptable under the proposed conditions of use.

The assessment examines human and animal health, residues, environmental fate, non-target organisms, efficacy, selectivity and regulatory compliance.

Our services

Regulatory support across the whole product lifecycle

Registration dossier compilation

We build and format dossiers in line with national guidance, including REF/HP/05/14 in Morocco. The formulated-product package covers identity, physicochemical and technical properties, toxicology, analytical methods, application data, efficacy, selectivity, classification and labelling. The active-substance package covers identity, properties, analytical methods, toxicology, metabolism, residues, environmental fate, ecotoxicology and classification.

Product lifecycle & portfolio extension

We manage renewals, regulatory surveillance, use and portfolio extensions, multi-brand strategies, dose and PHI changes, revised conditions of use, ownership transfers and supplier updates.

Authority liaison and compliance management

We perform completeness checks, organize submission, prepare responses to additional-information requests, update documentation and manage administrative follow-up through final validation and publication.

PPP efficacy trials & scientific studies

We coordinate with accredited GEP/GLP organizations for sample importation, field application, data collection, statistical analysis and extrapolation. We cover efficacy and selectivity trials, residue studies for MRL and PHI validation, and physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological studies involving bees, birds, aquatic organisms and other non-target species.
