Product Compliance for manufacturers, importers and exporters

Product Compliance for manufacturers importers and exporters

The Australian and world market place is highly regulated with mandatory product compliance programs imposed at federal, state and local levels. Product compliance is administered and policed by several government regulators who draft and implement legislation that specifies the regulations. For the most part the regulations are based on standards and usually these are derived from those issued by international standards organisations such as the IEC. Local variations are incorporated into the original standard, that is reissued as for example and Australian standard with the prefix of AS or a European standard with the prefix EN

Suppliers of products to the market must inform themselves of the technical and administrative requirements they must implement before they offer their products for sale. Penalties for not doing so can be costly. Apart from having to recall all products substantial fines may have to be paid in addition to the risk of litigation from consumers and customs will impound shipments.
