F E AT U R E NOW WHAT? What do we here in the industry do now? We move forward…while we wait and see what happens because none of that has been defined. We do not know what they are planning to do with this rickshaw of information they have compiled. But in the meanwhile there are things we can do: • Prepare for PMTA’s • Build your CAS libraries and do it right. • Know your supply train, seriously… even if you are co-packed. Take an active interest in the product that pads your wallet. • READ THE REGULATIONS. You need to know these inside and out. They are not open for interpretation. So know them and when you have questions call and ask now. Do not wait. Trust me you are running out of time. • Get a compliance officer. Because you need one. We saw how TPD went down. You are not getting compliant for one test my friends, you need to remain compliant, and it is a full time job. • Start saving your money. Because they are going to be putting you through new hoops very soon. They will be costly and repetitive. “They” being whatever regulatory commissions you will be answering to. • Be proactive. Regulation is a process. You are in the throws of becoming Corporate Regulated. Forevermore, a grown up business who answers to many outside forces. VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 08 69
