What is a Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA)?

A Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA) is a systematic, science-based evaluation of the potential human health risks from exposure to a substance or ingredient. It follows four steps: hazard identification, dose-response (hazard) characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. The goal is to determine whether a product or ingredient is safe at its intended conditions of use and to support regulatory compliance.

What does SciQra's Toxicological Risk Assessment include?

SciQra's TRA includes hazard identification, toxicological profiling and read-across, derivation of the NOAEL and point of departure (POD), exposure assessment to estimate the systemic exposure dose, Margin of Safety (MoS) calculation, ingredient safety evaluation, scientific literature review, and risk characterization. The deliverable is a documented Toxicological Risk Assessment Report suitable for regulatory submission.

Which products and industries need a Toxicological Risk Assessment?

TRA is commonly required for cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, food and food-contact materials, nutraceuticals, and consumer products. It is used by manufacturers and regulatory affairs teams to demonstrate product safety and meet global regulatory requirements.

What is the Margin of Safety (MoS) in a TRA?

The Margin of Safety (MoS) is the ratio between the point of departure (such as the NOAEL) and the estimated systemic exposure dose from product use. It is a core output of a toxicological risk assessment used to support a safety conclusion, particularly for cosmetic ingredients where a sufficient margin is expected.

Which regulations does a Toxicological Risk Assessment support?

A TRA supports compliance with frameworks including the US FDA and MoCRA for cosmetics, the EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, ISO 10993 for the biological evaluation of medical devices, and applicable ICH guidelines for pharmaceuticals. SciQra prepares assessments aligned with the relevant standard for each product type and market.
