Renolab Srl a socio unico

Renolab Srl a socio unico is an Italian GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) certified analytical laboratory located in San Giorgio di Piano, near Bologna, Italy. Holding GLP certification awarded by the Italian Ministry of Health — one of the most rigorous regulatory endorsements available to an EU analytical laboratory — Renolab has operated continuously under GLP compliance for over twenty years. The laboratory primarily serves manufacturers, registrants, and regulatory affairs teams requiring high-quality analytical data to support dossier submissions, safety assessments, and market authorisations across agrochemicals, biopesticides, biocides, cosmetics, medical devices, fertilisers, and biostimulants.

In the agrochemicals sector, Renolab offers a comprehensive suite of GLP-compliant analytical services to support the registration of plant protection products under EU and international regulatory frameworks. Testing activities encompass physico-chemical characterisation of technical-grade active substances and formulated products, residue studies across a wide range of matrices including crops, animal-derived commodities, processed products, soil, water, and air, as well as analytical method development and validation. Studies are conducted in accordance with internationally recognised methodologies including OECD Test Guidelines, EC Methods, CIPAC Handbook Series, and OPPTS Series, ensuring that generated data packages meet the requirements of EU and global regulatory agencies.

For the biopesticides sector, Renolab provides GLP-compliant analytical studies tailored to products based on microorganisms, natural substances, and biological active agents. Services include physico-chemical analyses and stability studies of biological formulations, supporting companies throughout the entire development and regulatory characterisation process for quality, safety, and compliance. The laboratory addresses the specific analytical challenges posed by biopesticide matrices, helping clients generate the datasets needed for regulatory submissions under EU Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 and related frameworks.

Renolab holds a distinctive standing in the Italian regulatory landscape as one of only 16 Italian laboratories selected by the REACH Centre to perform analyses required under EU Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH). This selection reflects the laboratory's proven technical competence in physico-chemical and analytical testing for chemical substance evaluations and REACH dossier support. For biocides, Renolab performs GLP-compliant analytical studies and efficacy testing in accordance with the principles mandated under its Ministry of Health certification, supporting product authorisations under EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) 528/2012. Clients working under the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 can also access Renolab's analytical expertise for substance characterisation and classification data generation.

In cosmetics, Renolab supports product safety and quality assurance through microbiological quality control and in vitro safety evaluations, assisting cosmetic companies in demonstrating compliance with EU Cosmetics Regulation requirements. For medical devices, Renolab performs in vitro biocompatibility testing under the ISO 10993 series of standards, including cytotoxicity studies per ISO 10993-5 using L929 cell lines with MTT and XTT colorimetric assays, as well as irritation, sensitisation, and genotoxicity assessments. These in vitro biocompatibility services are accredited under ISO/IEC 17025:2018, providing manufacturers with technically defensible data for CE marking and regulatory submissions.

Renolab's analytical capabilities also extend to fertilisers and biostimulants, where the laboratory performs chemical and physical characterisation alongside qualitative and quantitative analysis. These services help manufacturers meet quality specifications and regulatory documentation requirements under EU Regulation 2019/1009 and related national frameworks, covering both conventional chemical fertilisers and the emerging category of plant biostimulants.

Renolab's credibility as a testing partner rests on multiple formal recognition systems: over two decades of uninterrupted GLP certification from the Italian Ministry of Health, ISO/IEC 17025:2018 accreditation for specific in vitro testing activities, and formal designation by the REACH Centre as one of Italy's authorised REACH analytical laboratories. Since 2018, Renolab has been an Italian member of the Tentamus Group, a global network of more than 90 specialist laboratory branches operating across agrifood, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical products, with over 4,000 qualified employees worldwide. This group membership broadens the portfolio of complementary testing capabilities available to clients, while Renolab continues to operate from its established Bologna-area facility serving domestic and international clients requiring EU-compliant GLP study data.
