A key advantage of Arcadian Chemical Consulting (Arcadian) is an understanding of the regulatory frameworks that will apply to a chemical product throughout its lifecycle across Australia and
New Zealand.
This is beneficial as the regulatory landscape and agency touchpoints expected to affect a chemical product across its end-to-end lifespan can often be complex dependent on the market claims and the risk posed to health, safety and the environment.
Case studies are a useful means to illustrate the regulations and compliance pathways expected for a chemical product based on its recommended use. They can be referenced to gain a high-level understanding of the requirements needed for each stage of product introduction and commercialisation, such as feasibility, design, development and supply.
Although Australia and New Zealand share harmonised chemical regulations for certain market and compliance sectors, for example, food, therapeutic goods and hazard classification and communication, in other aspects there are fundamental differences. This can often present challenges for companies operating in both countries as these inconsistencies can limit market access, increase regulatory burden and escalate costs.
