Abstract

In specific contract No 12 issued under the framework agreement OC/EFSA/MESE/2023/03, EFSA requested Open Analytics to implement a web application to do a risk assessment for honeybees, solitary bees and bumble bees regarding the use of biocidal products. The software is developed in R and consists of a web‐based tool composed by several modules providing data entry for active substances, uses, metabolites and the modelling of toxicity studies. The application is developed based on the already existing EFSA's web application B‐risk for plant protection products (PPP) in a modular form such that new modules can be added when available, either by the developers of the application or by EFSA.
