Regulatory R&D

Regulatory research and development (R&D) is essential for creating standards, guidelines, and technologies that ensure safety, sustainability, and compliance. This field involves collaboration among major bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. and the European Union (EU), which set regulations to control pollution, protect public health, and conserve natural resources. Regulatory R&D supports industries in meeting these standards through innovation and adherence to best practices.

Advancing compliance and safety through regulatory R&D for a sustainable future.

Regulatory R&D focuses on the development of standards and innovations that ensure industries comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations. Agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Union (EU) play a key role by establishing rules to reduce pollution, safeguard public health, and promote sustainability. Collaborating with research institutions, these bodies fund and guide R&D efforts that help industries create cleaner technologies, improve product safety, and adhere to best practices.

Several institutions work closely with the EPA and EU to drive regulatory R&D, ensuring that standards align with global best practices. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a key player, creating standards that enhance quality, safety, and efficiency across industries. For example, ISO 17025 provides general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, ensuring they meet rigorous standards in producing reliable results. This standard is crucial for laboratories involved in regulatory testing, as it verifies the accuracy of data submitted for compliance with environmental or health regulations.

Another important standard, ISO 27819, focuses on gas flow measurement standards, which are essential for accurately monitoring emissions and controlling pollutants in industrial processes. Compliance with ISO 27819 helps industries align their operations with environmental regulations by ensuring their equipment meets precise calibration and measurement requirements.

These standards, alongside others developed by ISO, WHO, and regulatory bodies like the EPA and EU, support industries in achieving compliance while prioritizing safety and environmental protection. Through regulatory R&D, organizations can integrate these standards into their operations, promoting sustainable practices and fostering a responsible approach to growth and innovation.
