SFIA & WFSGI Launch New Product Labeling Database
This service will provide constantly updated information on labeling and packaging laws and regulations in 49 countires around the world. An easy-to-use, extremely detailed database has been created by Compliance & Risks to help sports & fitness companies keep in compliance with national and local laws. Known as the WFSGI CLR Database, this online tool ensures companies avoid potential costly re-work, stop ships and product recalls, which ultimately result in lost revenue and brand damage.
Users can search and report on up-to-date requirements by country and by product, as well as receive alerts of upcoming and new regulatory changes. To learn more about this one-stop-shop database for all compliance issues related to product & package labeling, click here.
