Here are some basic points to evaluate the supplier, the product and the correct strategy.
STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON
The Responsible Person is the importer.
It’s possible to identify a third party within the European Union who assumes the role of Responsible Person.
CEPRA HAS A SPECIALIZED PARTNER THAT CAN SERVE AS A RP AGENCY FOR THE EU AND THE UK
STEP 2: DATA AND DOCUMENTATION COLLECTION
It is necessary to collect a set of information, documentation and statements in order to support compliance & safety assessment.
The main requested data are:
- Qualitative-quantitative formula
