Today's companies are subject to increasing legal requirements
Until a few years ago, the number and complexity of legal and regulatory requirements in the automotive sector were rather manageable - unlike in the pharmaceutical industry, for example. The few approval-relevant regulations that existed were often several years old or were based on DIN or ISO standards. The regulatory environment had not kept pace with the rapid technical development.
This has changed dramatically. Following the "diesel scandal", authorities around the world have unleashed a veritable avalanche of new legal requirements. In particular, legal requirements have been created or are currently being created to regulate new technologies, such as the "EU AI Act", which regulates the use of artificial intelligence, or the "UN ECE R 155 - Cyber security and cyber security management system".
"Legislators are not limiting themselves to technical specifications, but are increasingly demanding effective risk management systems."
Vehicle manufacturers often pass on these legal requirements 1:1 to their suppliers. What does this mean? How can these requirements be implemented with manageable effort and yet effectively?
We provide support in the design and implementation of a "state of the art" Product Compliance Management System
"Product compliance can only be reliably ensured if the relevant features are safeguarded in the product development process."
With the help of our extensive experience, you will be able to design lean and effective processes and structures to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory product requirements.
We take all three key areas of action into account:
- Compliance functions and corporate culture
- Decision-making processes and committees
- Control processes and safeguarding relevant product features
It is crucial for the efficiency of the control processes that the relevant product features are created in a secure manner during the product development process, meaning that they are "process-embedded".
