Translation
We provide expert, compliance-led translation solutions tailored to each market.
Services cover technical documents, packaging, labels, marketing materials, and digital assets, ensuring legal terminology and all regulatory requirements are met.
With CERT’s expertise, design and graphics firms can reliably produce multilingual materials and packaging that comply with legal, cultural, and commercial standards, supporting smooth market entry and robust brand reputation.
Authorised Representation
CERT offers expert authorised representation for compliance with a thorough, flexible approach across various products (excluding medicinal), with no sales channel restrictions.
With offices in the UK and Germany, CERT provides legal representation throughout the UK and EU, aiding trade associations in EU/UK market entry without a local entity. Services include direct market surveillance contact, technical documentation management, IP protection, and transparent communication.
CERT streamlines market access by offering a local address, efficient documentation management, and regulatory support for food and non-food products.
Formulations/Registrations
CERT provides full regulatory support for formulation review and product registration, securing market compliance.
Formulations are evaluated to confirm they are free from banned substances and that ingredient concentrations meet all regulatory standards, helping manufacturers avoid errors and ensure safety. We assist with documentation, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR).
Registration is managed for different product categories and markets, such as supplements or cosmetic registration via CPNP (EU) and SCPN (UK), with a dedicated Responsible Person at each stage. CERT delivers guidance on formulation, nutrition, and registration throughout development, ensuring products are safe, compliant.
Marketing
Marketing is a valuable tool for engaging clients, but poor execution may harm sales and result in legal complications.
CERT navigates the Advertising Code and Advertising Standards Authority rulings, ensuring content—including imagery and claims—is persuasive and compliant, as minor details can trigger non-compliance.
With the rise of e-commerce, extra requirements apply: information such as CLP chemical warnings or textile composition must be displayed online, and all product claims, marketing language, labelling, and mandatory declarations must be presented clearly and in line with regulations on digital sales platforms.
Label Guidance
Our expert regulatory support ensures all labelling and graphical elements comply with current legislation and industry standards.
Our specialists review artwork for correct use of mandatory symbols, font size, warnings, ingredients lists, storage instructions, claims, and multilingual text, helping businesses avoid costly errors and confirming compliance with CE marking, Eco-design, and Product Safety Regulations.
With thorough knowledge of evolving labelling laws, CERT helps companies produce legally compliant labels that foster consumer trust and facilitate product entry into European markets.
Product Compliance
CERT provides tailored regulatory support enabling trade associations to help members achieve compliance with EU and UK requirements, including technical assessments, labelling reviews, legislative monitoring, and affordable authorised representation.
Leveraging deep expertise in EU product safety—such as GPSR, REACH, CLP, and harmonised standards—enabling associations to align operations and products with current legislation, clarifying complex rules, maintaining up-to-date regulatory intelligence, and fostering effective communication with authorities to enhance credibility and acceptance in the EU.
