Compliance

UK Trading Standards (supplement enforcement)

TL;DR

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 engineered into every action, not bolted on.

Because V5 owns the operator action, the QMS sees the data the second it’s captured — not at the end of the shift.

Document control with hard kiosk-level training enforcement.

Versioned SOPs are only useful if operators are actually trained on the current version. V5 enforces it at the kiosk.

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/PQ scripts, traceability matrix, risk assessment, intended-use statement — generates from the same evidence so you can hand it to an auditor on day one.
