Although it is possible to self-declare a product, the process often comes with many challenges. Lack of experience can lead to delayed product launches and missed critical market opportunities.
Numerous legal documents that are constantly updated — difficult to track fully, accurately, and in a timely manner.
Researching regulations and preparing dossiers requires significant investment in time and dedicated personnel.
A minor mistake in the dossier can result in rejection, requests for supplementary documents, and extended waiting times.
Explaining technical and legal matters to state regulatory agencies requires hands-on experience in handling real-world situations.
Identifying the correct testing criteria and selecting an appropriately designated testing laboratory can be challenging.
Combining all these difficulties leads to prolonged procedures, causing irreversible missed business opportunities.
