You would like to carry out the analysis and characterization of OEB1, OEB2, OEB3 and OEB4 substances
Analysis and characterization of OEB1 to OEB4 substances in the laboratory
The pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical or biotechnology industries handle substances whose acceptable exposure level for operators must be strictly controlled. The OEB (Occupational Exposure Band) assessment and classification makes it possible to define good handling practices and the necessary containment levels.

Our technical means for the analysis and characterization of OEB1, OEB2, OEB3 and OEB4 substances
The FILAB laboratory supports manufacturers in the analysis and characterization of OEB1, OEB2, OEB3 and OEB4 substances
Why choose FILAB for the analysis and characterization of OEB1, OEB2, OEB3 and OEB4 substances
At the Filab laboratory, we support manufacturers in the analysis, identification, quantification and complete characterization of substances classified OEB1, OEB2, OEB3 and OEB4, thanks to a modern analytical park and extensive expertise in chemistry, materials and process safety.
Why analyze a substance classified as EPO?
Manufacturers call on us for several reasons:
- Check material conformity before production
- Characterize an active principle or a highly active substance
- Identify an impurity or contamination
- Assess potential exposure in a production environment
- Control incoming or outgoing batches
- Meet a regulatory requirement (GMP, REACH, pharmacopoeias, etc.)
- Understand a deviation, product defect or process problem
Each analysis aims to guarantee operator safety, product quality and control of industrial risks.
Industrial applications of OEB substance analysis
pharmaceutical (API, HPAPI, impurities, etc.)
chemical (intermediates, catalysts, solvents, etc.)
additive materials or technical excipients
cosmetic (active ingredients, UV filters, pigments, etc.)
biotechnology
We work daily with R&D, HSE, quality, purchasing, production or control departments to help them secure their processes and improve the control of their materials.
FAQ
The OEB (Occupational Exposure Band) is a classification system used to group substances according to their level of hazard and the risk of exposure for workers.
- OEB1: Low hazard
- OEB2: Moderate hazard
- OEB3: High hazard
- OEB4: Very high hazard / highly active substances
These OEB classes require high-performance analytical tools and a suitable intervention framework to guarantee personnel safety and the reliability of the results.
The OEB classification depends on toxicological data, the acceptable exposure limit (OEL), and the intrinsic toxicity of the molecule. If you do not have this information, our teams can help you analyze your substance's profile and guide you toward the appropriate exposure class.
Depending on your needs, we can identify a molecule, quantify impurities, characterize a formulation, control purity, verify contamination, or perform thermal, morphological, or elemental studies. Our engineers will guide you toward the most relevant analytical plan.
- Anomaly in a batch or change in material behavior,
- unexpected contamination or impurity,
- formulation defect,
- stability or aging problem,
- inconsistency between suppliers,
- quality drift in production.
