Scoping regulatory obligations
The successful introduction of chemical products within key target markets is contingent on having sustained awareness of regulatory requirements relating to the export/import and safe use. Failure to understand and comply with requirements in place may result in delays in products reaching potential clients (leading to a loss in potential revenue) or even financial and/or legal ramifications should crucial regulation unknowingly be overlooked.
Whether you are a SME, a major industrial company, research organisation or university, IOM can help you identify and address your responsibilities at an international level and ensure the safe use and commercial success of your products.
We can help you to identify and scope the key regulatory frameworks within the specific target markets of interest to your business, including:
- Relevant chemical regulations and reporting schemes;
- Current requirements for regulatory compliance;
- Trigger threshold volumes;
- Relevant exemptions based on manufacturing volumes or product nature.
Such information has significant value and can provide competitive advantage in not only planning compliance ahead of import, allowing rapid penetration into a new marketplace, but also in the consideration of your business strategy.
