Compliance & Risks made quite the impact at ICPHSO's 2016 Annual Meeting in Washington DC! Our booth was one of the most visited, not just for the allure of the candies (or the Irish accent!) but our ability to offer real assistance to product companies lost in the maze of regulatory changes.

For many attendees at ICPHSO, the conference represents an important opportunity to meet with policymakers, other product manufacturers within their industry and beyond, trade and consumer associations and representatives of the testing world. Throughout the four days of presentations, there were many sessions that dealt with the impact of safety on a company’s day to day business. From best practices in design principles, sustainability of supply chains, implementing risk assessments and the process of dealing with product recalls, ICPHSO covered a huge range of important safety topics.

Compliance & Risks offers a different perspective because we are uniquely objective in our approach to researching and monitoring global regulations and this resonated with manufacturers who are looking for a solution to help them stay compliant and be ready for future regulatory changes. For the visitors to our booth, it was clear that “where to start” is still a critical question. Most are dealing with the day to day challenges of business and so, feel exposed in trying to keep up with regulatory changes happening around the world and in markets where they have no local company representatives to guide them.

The regulatory growth charts caught everyone’s attention, and maybe frightened some to further investigate what we had to offer. Printed samples of Stacey Bowers’ Chemical Quarterly webinars were snapped up as quickly as the jellybeans! Attendees recognized that they need an expert that understands their products and their regulatory obligations, not just in one area of the law but from product design, safety and right through to waste.
