Currently every industry has special regulations and restrictions according to which companies must operate.

For example,

• REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization, restriction of chemicals): this is the European regulation for high-tech company and manufacturing enterprises for working with chemical substances. REACH’s goal is to provide a high level of public health and natural environment protection. Also, RoHS directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) controls the harmful substances content;
• consumer product companies have to comply with the requirements for product labeling and packing;
• FDA: foods and medicines quality (USA) are regulated by Food and Drug Administration.
