SafeGuardS Technical Bulletins All EU industry sectors face an increasing regulatory burden. Diverse EU regulations require consumer products to comply with a confusing variety of legal criteria for labelling, packaging, design and safety. Keeping up with the sheer volume of EU regulations as well as regular amendments can be overwhelming. Meanwhile, the consequences of regulatory non-compliance are increasingly serious and the media is all too quick to highlight a potential scare, at your expense.
For compliance assistance we regularly publish regular technical bulletins on all consumer products. These are issued as and when there is a new or amendment to local or international standards or regulations affecting your products and processes.
