high quality non-crop & ornemental trials

The CETEV Center of Expertise in Environmental and Plant Techniques conducts trials on products, treatments and methods that will be used to maintain and protect Non-Crop, Horticultural & Ornemental areas, such as green areas, public parks, lawns and gardens, recreational areas and complex industrial sites. In terms of quality assurance, we go beyond applicable standards and regulations for this highly specific sector.

Depending on your needs, we follow the CEB or EPPO framework or use customized adaptations to meet your specific requirements with scientific robustness. We pay particular attention to selecting the right test site for your product or method so that its use can be studied in the right context and under the right conditions.

CEB

The CEB (Commission des Essais Biologiques or Commission for Biological Trials) method is the French reference for the evaluation of phytopharmaceutical products in both Crop and Non-Crop areas as well as for the acquisition of biological data for registration and homologation purposes – (www.afpp.net)
