Registration of food supplements

According to the requirements of the Regulations No 725 of the Cabinet of Ministers of 20 September 2005 "Regulations regarding the Mandatory Harmlessness and Labelling Requirements for Food Supplements and the Procedures for Registration of Food Supplements", food supplements have to be registered in Food and Veterinary Service of Latvia or a notification has to be submitted on placing the products on the market (in case the food supplement has been produced, registered or marketed in any country of the European Economic Area).

LATSERT provides the service-assistance with registration or notification of a food supplement. We will evaluate the composition of the food supplement, collect and prepare for submitting the required package of documents, prepare a sample of the label text and submit all for registration or notification.

Projektējot, ražojot vai pārdodot jebkuru produkciju, viens no aktuālākajiem jautājumiem ir tās atbilstība kvalitātes un nekaitīguma prasībām, kas noteiktas normatīvajos aktos. Vienlīdz svarīgi ir iegūt pārliecību par produkta atbilstību patērētāja prasībām. Plānojot produkcijas eksportu, būtisks nosacījums ir preces atbilstība attiecīgajos tirgos spēkā esošajām likumdošanas prasībām 

Neatbilstoša produkta pārdošana var radīt būtiskus materiālus zaudējumus, nodarīt kaitējumu patērētāja veselībai, kā arī neatgriezeniski degradēt konkrētā produkta, tā ražotāja, izplatītāja reputāciju. Laba reputācija ir nozīmīga motivācija uzņēmējam pieņemt lēmumu un veikt savas produkcijas novērtējumu un nodrošināt objektīvus pierādījumus, ka patērētājiem piedāvātie produkti ir nekaitīgi, kvalitatīvi, un atbilst prasībām, kuras reglamentē:

• ES regulas un direktīvas

• ES dalībvalstu nacionālās likumdošanas

• Starprautiskie EN, ISO u.c. standarti

• Ražotāja vai pasūtītāja specifikācijas

Ja Jums nepieciešams apliecinājums produkta atbilstībai, LATSERT speciālisti palīdzēs Jums rast optimālu risinājumu konkrētajiem produktiem, ņemot vērā Jūsu vajadzības un patērētāju paredzamās vēlmes.
