What kind of help can I get from a product compliance consulting firm?
Compliance consultants can help you research applicable regulations and standards, create compliance documents, label files, arrange lab testing, and other steps. While lab testing companies are primarily focused on the testing process, compliance consulting firms offer a broad range of services.
Further, many compliance consultants are specialized in a certain field or product category.
How much does it cost to appoint a compliance consulting company in the European Union?
Compliance consulting companies can charge anything from 30 USD for a simple label check, up to tens of thousands of dollars or euros for more complex work. The more work you intend to assign to a consulting firm, the more you’ll pay.
The cost also depends on the general complexity of the compliance process for your specific products.
