The product responsibility pillar of a compliance program focuses on regulatory compliance of the product as well as product safety. Starting with the product concept stage, it is critical to know what the regulations are that product must comply with, and also to assess the product for potential consumer use and functionality issues. The primary requirements and best practices of this pillar are achievable through testing, production controls and knowledge of your product and its material composition. A compliance program often starts with regulatory compliance. With constantly changing regulations, both globally and within the United States, it can be challenging to keep up to date. Regulatory compliance does not necessarily mean that the product is safe for consumer use, and control of manufacturing to ensure consistently compliant products along with actual consumer use considerations are important.
