Regulatory News
Regulatory News for Global Product Compliance
Regulatory developments affecting product approvals worldwide: new rules, standard revisions, QR-code certificate mandates, enforcement changes, and regional updates, written so you can tell whether your products are in scope.
What this is
The regulatory changes our legal and engineering team is tracking, written for the people who have to act on them.
Regulation that affects product approvals changes constantly, across dozens of authorities in dozens of countries. A communications regulator opens a new band. A standards body publishes a new edition. A country adopts a QR-code certificate mandate. A substance is added to a restriction list. An efficiency threshold moves. An enforcement posture shifts. Any one of these can turn an approved product into one that can't be imported, and they're published in gazettes, circulars, and consultation documents that no compliance team has time to read in full.
ORBIS Regulatory News is where our team publishes the developments we're tracking. Each item tells you what changed, which product categories and markets it affects, when it takes effect, and what a compliance team should consider doing. We write for the compliance manager who needs to decide in a few minutes whether to call a meeting, not for the lawyer who has all afternoon.
The running feed is at regulatory updates. The pages below organize the news by type and region, and offer alerts and newsletters for teams that want it delivered.

How we write
Read against the source. Dated. Clear about what's confirmed and what's still moving.
Regulatory news is only useful if you can act on it. Every item says what it's based on, when it was current, and where the position is still open. If we correct something, the correction stays with the original.
