Regulatory Product approval with high quality, reduced processing time, cost and risk.
This is Schafer Scientific Solution’s commitment to you.
Let us take care about your regulatory issues while you focus on developing your product.
Distribute your product on the market without concerns about regulatory constraints. SSS offers our support to you to ensure a quick and cost effective registration process. We are here to help you.
Peace of mind: Everything is being done correctly
Who we are
The SSS team has technical and practical expertise from over 30 years of regulatory science industry experience in agricultural biotechnology. We are consultants who already know the best ways to generate your data with high quality and cost efficiency, as follows:
- Lowering the risk of: Test repetition, extra costs and delays in product approval.
- Increasing the chances of: Approval on the first submission, with no unnecessary steps.
We communicate openly, following global regulations on Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). With these guidelines, questions and obstacles in your process are minimized.
Because we know the agricultural production process, we understand what a registration delay can represent, loss of market share and the loss of millions of dollars by delaying the launch of your product.
SSS works with a balance between technology, and attention to three main points:
We care about… the regulatory requirements
Bureaucracies will seem trivial with our scientific work and communication perfectly aligned with the requirements of global regulatory agencies and organizations.
We care about… YOU
Your approval process will no longer be confusing and disorganized with customized solutions to your regulatory needs. This means that we serve from a simple report review to a complete dossier. We are always ready to serve with constant communication and advice.
We care about… your product
Successful products need lots of attention from the beginning until the end of the development cycle, we are there step by step.
SSS regulatory specialists are the best professionals in the market and will monitor and work daily to ensure your product approval, and that your submission data package is complete and robust.
With all requirements fulfilled, the final result is a complete data package and a clear and concise report/dossier.
