Local-authority Trading Standards officers are the front-line enforcers of UK supplement law — the Food Supplements Regulations 2003, FIR 2014, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs) and the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. They sample at retail, issue improvement notices, prosecute mislabelling, and refer borderline-medicines cases to the MHRA. A Primary Authority partnership is the only way to get consistent treatment across 300+ local authorities.

How V5 handles it

QMS — quality records next to the work they concern.

Deviations, corrective actions and quality review sit in the same system as production, so each quality record references the work order, step and lot it concerns.

Document control — one version in force, every change signed and explained.

Draft the next revision while the current one stays in use, approve it under your sign-off route, and track training on it — with the history kept.

Score your compliance gap — then download the validation pack.

A guided self-assessment walks you against the regulator clauses that apply to your industry. The validation pack — IQ/OQ scripts, traceability matrix, risk assessment, intended-use statement — generates from the same evidence so you can hand it to an auditor on day one.
