Our comprehensive services include regulatory strategy consulting, dossier preparation and compilation, data gap analysis, study monitoring, submission management, and post-approval compliance support.

Why should we choose Auxilife over other regulatory consultants?

Auxilife combines deep expert knowledge with a truly global reach. We are not just consultants; we are your strategic partners. Our advantages include expertise with decades of combined experience navigating complex regulatory frameworks, a one-stop solution for managing multiple country registrations through a single point of contact, a global network with direct liaison with regulatory authorities worldwide, and efficiency in streamlining processes to avoid costly delays and achieve compliance faster.

In which countries and regions can you help us get our products registered?

We have direct expertise and a strong network of partners in a vast number of key markets, including Europe (European Union and United Kingdom), Asia (India, China, Japan, Singapore), Africa (Kenya, South Africa, and other major regions), Americas (United States), Pacific (Australia), and other key markets like Morocco and Turkey. We can manage registrations in these countries and many others through our global partner network.

How long does the registration process typically take?

The timeline varies significantly by country, product type, and complexity. For example, a biostimulant registration in the EU will have a different timeline than a novel pesticide in India.

Bird Risk Calculator Tool for Agrichemical Spraying by The NZ EPA

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has formally launched a new Bird Risk Calculator Tool and complete guidance, representing a significant shift in how agrichemical hazards to New Zealand’s avian species are assessed.

The release is part of a larger EPA initiative to upgrade risk assessment tools, making them more consistent, robust, and scientifically current.

A Shift to the 2023 EFSA Standards

The new instrument represents a tremendous technological advance. Since 2022, the EPA’s methodology for hazardous compounds has been based on the 2009 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) advice. The 2025 Bird Risk Calculator officially aligns the benchmark with the EFSA 2023 advice.

What has changed?

The tool replaces the existing EFSA 2009 quantitative models outlined in Section C.12 of the EPA’s methodology.
Designed specifically for spraying agrichemicals.
It includes updated data on food exposure and more accurate modelling of avian interactions with treated crops.

Timeline for Applicants

As the tool is now accessible, since January 2026, it will be the norm for the EPA’s internal evaluations. When preparing their submissions, applicants are encouraged by the EPA to use the tool. Because of this transparency, industry participants can –

Perform independent ecotoxicology analyses prior to formal submission.
Identify necessary risk management measures.
Use substance-specific data instead of “default” values to create more realistic risk profiles.

Currently, the Bird Risk Calculator Tool uses data from European bird species. However, a critical component of the EPA’s larger effort is determining the viability of applying these models to New Zealand-specific bird data. If viable, an upgraded version of the tool adapted to local species and conditions is expected by the mid-2027.
