A new app has been developed that aims to help retailers, brands, manufacturers and importers working in the cosmetics industry, among others, stay up to date with regulatory changes and new standards affecting the global consumer products supply chain.
Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services (BVCPS) developed the BV Smart app with an alert and search function enabling users to filter updates by product categories and by regions of the world.
Jonathon Thackray, Country Chief Executive Officer for BVCPS UK, Netherlands & Eastern Europe comments: "The global regulatory landscape of consumer product requirements is ever-changing, with new or updated regulations and standards being released on a continual basis. Understanding and being alerted of these changes is critical for our clients in order to make strategic business decisions. Our Information Resource Centre team has been successfully publishing technical bulletins for many years and they are highly valued by our clients. The idea behind the development of the BV Smart application was to enhance this added-value service by taking these regulatory alerts on a mobile platform and make them accessible anywhere and at anytime."
The BV Smart app is free to download on iTunes, Google Play and Microsoft Store.
