What is product regulatory monitoring?
Product regulatory monitoring means continuously identifying, collecting and analysing the laws, national rules, EU regulations and technical standards that apply to your products, to support their ongoing compliance.
It concerns products you already sell: their requirements keep evolving after launch. Depending on the sector, the scope may include REACH, the medical device regulations and references to harmonised standards.

Product regulatory monitoring questions
01Who is product regulatory monitoring for?
Manufacturers, importers, distributors and brands selling products who want to follow changes to their regulatory requirements in their sales markets.
02How does monitoring differ from a compliance assessment?
An assessment reviews a product and its file at a given point, particularly before market entry. Monitoring then follows changes affecting products already on sale. It can be set up independently of a Cleo assessment.
03Which texts should be monitored?
National laws and rules, EU regulations and technical standards relevant to the product. Depending on the range, the scope may include REACH, the medical device regulations, labelling or packaging.
04Does monitoring alone make a product compliant?
Monitoring helps identify and understand changes. Compliance also depends on the product, its testing, its documentation and how applicable requirements are addressed.
05Where can I review monitoring information?
In the Cleo platform: signals are linked to your range, markets and sources. The scope and monitoring arrangements are defined during the demo.
