Industries We Serve in the European Union
The European region is considered the second largest market, after the US, for medical devices. At the same time, Europe has a very complex and stringent regulatory compliance. From the implementation of MDR, Brexit to Swixit, Europe has experienced volatility in terms of regulations, especially for medical devices.
The EU cosmetics registration process is regarded by some to be the most challenging, as far as the global markets go. We do not expect you to have it mastered when you first contact us, our dedicated team will take you through it step by step. We have done so with clients from every part of the world, small and large, across all categories of cosmetic products, such as skin care, hair care, infant care, oral care, nail care, etc.
The European Union (EU) is a thriving market for food supplements, attracting companies in the industry. However, the EU’s food supplement regulations are implemented at the national level, following Directive 2002/46/EC. Merely classifying a product as a food supplement, dietary supplement, nutraceutical, Natural Health Product (NHP), complementary medicine, health food, or health supplement in other markets is insufficient for EU classification. Compliance with substance usage, maximum levels, and banned substances is crucial. It is essential to adhere to proper food labeling, advertising, and health claims to ensure safety, avoid sanctions, and prevent product withdrawal and recall.
Cleaning and disinfectant products are called/identified and regulated differently across countries and regions, making it very challenging for the industry to place these products in different markets.
