Biorius ?why4. CLIENT-ORIENTED SERVICESBIORIUS takes care of all the regulatory aspects so that its clients only focus on growing their business. Commercial factors

(such as timelines and schedules) are taken

into account and issues (such as distributors’

questions) are addressed without delay. In

case of inspection, BIORIUS can take over the

discussions with authorities and provide the

requested documentation as well as a quality

regulatory support and the best possible

solution when problems arise. BIORIUS team

also aims at effi ciency : each order is processed

as quickly as possible.

5. SINGLE POINT OF CONTACTBIORIUS off ers the possibility to purchase cosmetic regulatory assistance for most industrialized countries. It acts as a single

point of contact that understands and deals with

all the diff erent sets of rules, which greatly eases

data transmission and avoids ineffi ciencies and

disclosure issues.

6. LONG-TERM COMMITMENTClients are considered long-term partners. In

practical terms, it means that the whole team

works with a constructive approach, takes

action accordingly and keeps in mind that

a reliable relationship is essential. BIORIUS

legal representation service is another proof of

long-term commitment; it allows a win-win relationship to grow and gives clients the time and opportunity to develop their business without worries.

7. NON-DISCLOSURENon-disclosure of the received data is a basic

principle when dealing with the cosmetic

industry. BIORIUS considers it fundamental and strengthens security to prevent data losses or unauthorized disclosures. In this

regard, all the documentation is stored on highly

secure servers with external backups and the

data needed for registration procedures can only

be accessed by regulatory specialists.

8. INTERNATIONAL PRESENCEWorking at an international level automati-cally calls for international presence. Being

in the same time zones, using local languages

and apprehending people’s mindsets and men-

talities are crucial to ease communication with

local contacts and carry through negotiations.

Currently, BIORIUS has its headquarters in

Europe (Belgium) ; agents in Canada, China

and Australia.

9. ADAPTED TOOLS AND TRACEABILITYGiven the level of specialization required by

regulatory procedures in the cosmetic sector and

the amount of data exchanged, adapted tools

and traceability are necessary to keep track.

BIORIUS works with constantly updated databases and developed a specialized IT platform for project management and regulatory data. These systems ensure great

traceability and immediate availability of the

regulatory documentation.

1. STRICT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORKSIn a global trading context, where several

sets of rules apply, it is impossible to succeed

without a deep understanding of the diff erent

laws. Cosmetic regulatory frameworks are no

exception; they are specifi c to each country or

region and can sometimes be complex. BIORIUS has a comprehensive knowledge of the local and international rules and follows

them carefully. Its clients thus avoid issues with

authorities and distribution networks and place compliant products on the market, which is a great competitive asset. By strictly

applying the laws, BIORIUS also makes sure that

its clients’ reputation with authorities is good.

2. ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT TO OUR CLIENTSBIORIUS considers quality and compliance as

priorities. To fi nd one’s way in the regulatory maze

and make sure all the procedures are correctly

completed, BIORIUS compiled the entire regulatory package of services required to be fully compliant from A to Z, including Safety

Assessments, legal representation, label and

formula reviews, Product Information Files, etc.

BIORIUS off ers its regulatory assistance on

current legislations but, since rules are made

to fi t reality and that this is an ever-changing

world, BIORIUS keeps a constant eye on new

regulatory frameworks and immediately adapts

its services.

Moreover, BIORIUS delivers a certifi cate of compliance to clients purchasing the full registration package. The competitive advantage of this certifi cate lies in the fact that it shows product compliance to trading parties.

3. HIGH IN-HOUSE AND EXTERNAL SKILLSAll the regulatory work is performed by highly qualifi ed experts. BIORIUS has in-

house skilled specialists for Europe and North-

America and works with local partners, selected

for their reliability and professionalism, to deal

with specifi c legislations (in China, Japan and

Australia) or carry out complementary expertise

(labs, etc.). To guarantee the most updated

information, BIORIUS experts also regularly

attend / give seminars and workshops.
