Institut national de l'environnement industriel et des risques
French public research and expertise institute providing research, testing and technical support for industrial and environmental risk prevention. Core activities include mechanistic and empirical modelling for toxicokinetics/toxicodynamics, development and publication of model code and metadata, laboratory and large-scale experimental testing (fires, explosions, battery systems, waste behaviour), environmental monitoring and operational air-quality forecasting, analytical method development and interlaboratory comparisons, bioassay development for endocrine disruptors and persistent substances, regulatory assistance and national helpdesk services, participation in standards development, and training including immersive simulation. The institute operates regional sites and large laboratory/test-platform infrastructure and provides services to industry, regulators and research organisations.

Services
Provision of multi-scale, on-site experimental testing for fires, explosions, emission-simulation, battery-system safety and large-mass waste behaviour using dedicated test galleries, calorimeters, emission benches and smoke-treatment systems.
Laboratory and field metrology, physico-chemical characterisation and lifecycle risk assessment of nanomaterials, delivered via dedicated laboratory platforms and measurement campaigns.
Experimental determination of waste and by-product behaviour (storage, leaching, percolation) at realistic mass scales to assess contaminant release and support development of treatment or valorisation processes.
Design and execution of monitoring campaigns, analytical testing and operational air-quality modelling and forecasting to support surveillance and policy decisions.
Technical advisory services, helpdesk support for REACH/CLP/POP/substitution topics, multicriteria risk analyses and participation in standards development.
Technical and regulatory training programmes, including immersive virtual-reality modules and e-learning, covering safety, industrial risk management and specialised technical subjects.
