It can be quite daunting if you have to wade through the many rules and regulations placed on consumer products; this applies to just about every business most of which has their own requirements. Labelling rules vary according to the product and its components; for example cosmetics and body care products are labelled differently than food or a pharmaceutical product, which is pretty obvious of course. Naturally, products and clothing for children are labelled differently than those for adults. Manufactured items, such as home appliances or gardening products, may require warnings about gases, chemicals or dangerous components.
If your product is intended for use in this country only, it will not be too difficult to find all the information that is needed to comply with any warning or information that has to be seen on the label. If your product is to be marketed abroad, it then will be necessary to label the item in accordance with the regulations of the country concerned. For example the Canadian system, Australian system, United States system Japanese system or in Europe, each has its own requirements.
We will be pleased to discuss with you specific labelling requirements and we can usually advise where to find information concerning a particular country by various government or trade associations for a particular product or industry.
