Regulatory clarity for complex chemical portfolios
Lirk Nor is a Utrecht-based regulatory consultancy specialising in EU REACH, CLP, PFAS and related EU chemicals legislation. We work with manufacturers, importers, distributors and non-EU companies needing a compliant presence in the European market.
Our services
Product Compliance and Regulatory Support
Lirk Nor covers the full range of operational EU chemicals compliance: REACH dossier preparation and maintenance, CLP classification and labelling, C&L notifications under Article 40, poison centre notifications under Annex VIII, safety data sheet authoring, and biocidal product compliance under BPR.
Expert Analysis
We assess your chemical portfolio against current and upcoming regulatory obligations, identifying gaps and priorities before they become problems. Restriction proposals, new hazard classes, enforcement priorities and legislative revisions are all linked to each other and can affect commercial timelines ways which are not always obvious from the legal text alone. We help companies understand what is coming and what it means for their specific product portfolio. Examples include a gap analysis before a product launch, an impact assessment for an upcoming restriction, or ongoing horizon scanning across PFAS, SVHC candidates, CMR substances and developments like the Chemicals Omnibus.
Advocacy and Public Affairs
When a future regulatory process has the potential to affect your products, your market access or your supply chain, it's always best participating in the discussion from the beginning, rather than reacting on a drafted legal text. LIRK NOR supports companies and industry groups in proposed restriction and harmonised classification procedures, including consultation responses, position paper drafting and stakeholder engagement with ECHA committees. For Brussels-level public affairs work, we operate in partnership with reliable public affairs firms, so technical knowledge, regulatory expertise and political intelligence are coordinated from the start.
Training and Regulatory Outsourcing
We deliver structured training for product stewardship, QA, regulatory and commercial teams on topics including CLP classification, IUCLID and PCN dossier preparation, SDS obligations and the practical implications of recent legislative changes. For companies that prefer a fractional regulatory function, we act as an outsourced regulatory team on retainer, covering ongoing compliance management with clear contractual delineation of legal obligations.
Industries we support
The same regulations apply across the EU market, but what they require depends on what you make, how you sell it, and which role you have in the supply chain.
