Compliance Retainer
Programmes
Regulatory compliance is not a one-time project. It is a permanent responsibility — and we make it effortless.
What happens when compliance is reactive
Getting certified is a milestone. Staying certified — and staying compliant as regulations evolve, products change, and new markets open — is the real challenge. Most companies handle this reactively: they discover a problem when a shipment is stopped, a label is flagged, or a certification lapses.
By then, the cost is far higher than it ever needed to be. A shipment held at US customs because of a missing FDA conformance declaration can cost the value of the entire shipment plus freight costs. A BIS certification that lapses means your product cannot legally be sold in India until reinstatement — which takes months.
Our Compliance Retainer Programmes exist to prevent all of this — systematically, affordably, and with senior specialist oversight.
Think of us as your outsourced regulatory affairs department
- ✓No cost of a full in-house regulatory team
- ✓Senior specialist expertise, always available
- ✓Coverage across India, USA, and Middle East
- ✓Proactive — not reactive — compliance management
- ✓Scales as your markets and products expand
- ✓Six-month minimum commitment — no lock-in beyond that
The average cost of a single compliance failure — direct costs, lost sales, and management time — is many multiples of an annual retainer fee.
What our retainer covers
Built around the recurring compliance tasks that every FCM and water treatment equipment company faces — the work that cannot be ignored without consequence.
Regulatory Monitoring & Alerts
We monitor regulatory developments across your active markets — FDA guidance updates, FSSAI regulation revisions, new ESMA product categories, tightening Halal requirements — and alert you to any changes that affect your products, with clear guidance on what action is required and by when.
Label & Packaging Compliance Reviews
Every label update, new packaging design, or modification to your product's intended use creates potential compliance risk. Our team reviews all label and packaging changes against current regulatory requirements in your active markets — before they reach production, not after.
Certification Renewal Management
We maintain a complete renewal calendar for all your active certifications — BIS CRS annual renewals, NSF reassessments, ESMA validity periods. We initiate renewal processes well in advance, manage all renewal documentation, and ensure no certification lapses.
Migration Testing Advisory
When products are reformulated, new materials are introduced, or new markets are targeted, migration testing implications must be assessed. Our retainer includes advisory on testing requirements — when testing is needed, what is required, and which laboratory is appropriate.
Ad-hoc Regulatory Queries
Compliance questions arise unpredictably — a customer asks for a regulatory declaration, a customs authority raises a query, your product team wants to know if a new additive is permitted. Under our retainer, these are handled by our specialists — typically within 48 hours.
Quarterly Compliance Review
Every quarter, we conduct a structured review of your compliance position across all active markets — identifying emerging risks, upcoming renewals, and regulatory changes on the horizon. Delivered as a written briefing to your team.
Three plans. One specialist team.
Every plan is backed by the same senior expertise. The difference is scope, market coverage, and response time. All plans billed monthly. Minimum six-month commitment. Annual contracts at 10% discount.
