regulatory process

The regulatory process involves creating and enforcing rules to ensure that products, services, and activities are safe, fair, and effective. Typically, a government agency reviews scientific data and stakeholder input, then drafts regulations or standards. These are published for public comment, allowing feedback before finalizing. Once established, regulators monitor compliance through inspections, testing, or reporting. The goal is to protect public health, safety, and the environment, while balancing innovation and economic interests. This process is transparent, consultative, and designed to adapt as new information or technologies emerge.
