SpecPage and Decernis Compliance Guide

SpecPage will integrate its product lifecycle management system (SpecPDM) with Decernis’s compliance management system to assist food and beverage manufacturers and distributors with their global regulatory compliance requirements.

Compliance Guide is a web-based management tool based on Decernis’s compliance management system, gComply Plus, comprising more than 5 million terms from over 90,000 food and beverage regulations and compliance standards across 207 countries worldwide. This will help industry users ensure their product recipes and specifications comply with global regulatory requirements, including information on additives, nutritional values, packaging, contaminants and Standards of Identity. The guide is designed to ensure suppliers and distributors have accurate and comprehensive data at all times, allowing for real-time traceability from laboratory processes to product labels.

Integrated with SpecPDM, the guide provides a visual red/green-light report confirming if a formula is compliant with regulatory requirements in target markets. This tool allows users to analyse and manage the compliance status of an ingredient or product, search for regulatory information, compare global threshold requirements for additives and contaminants, and author regulatory certifications.

The company also introduced a food label review service for European markets. This includes the assessment and review of product labels, including product name, ingredient lists, design and format, according to relevant regulations.
