To bring a product to market, companies must undertake a variety of tasks and activities to ensure their products are compliant with a wide range of regulations. This process is known as product compliance, and it encompasses an assortment of due diligence measures, including reporting on chemicals and restricted substances found in products, product certification requirements and extended producer responsibility tasks. Companies with products found to be non-compliant with these requirements could face serious consequences, including loss of market access, financial penalties, legal action or loss of contract.

Requirements for product compliance regulations can typically be broken down into three primary categories: material and chemical reporting, product certification and producer responsibility.
