Compliance & Quality Standards
ADDVANCE operates with a rigorous compliance and quality framework designed for regulated Consumer Health categories across Europe. The Group manages OTC medicines, medical devices, food supplements (VMS), cosmetics and functional foods under a unified quality system, supported by extensive certification coverage across its manufacturing and operational sites. This includes ISO 13485 for medical devices, pharmaceutical‑grade standards for OTC products, and certified processes for supplement and cosmetic production – providing the trust and reliability required by leading European retailers and regulatory bodies.
Quality & Regulatory Affairs
Quality & Regulatory Affairs is structured as a central platform function, comprising more than 20 specialised QA/RA professionals across the Group. These teams oversee supplier approval, raw‑material qualification, regulatory documentation, product registration, labelling compliance, safety assessments and market‑specific approvals. They ensure that every product – whether produced in Germany, Spain, Slovakia or through selected external partners – meets stringent European regulatory requirements.
ADDVANCE maintains harmonised processes across all categories and sites, supported by digital traceability, enabling fast and controlled interventions. The organisation is capable of executing full product recalls within one day where required – a key capability in highly regulated CHC environments.
With its broad certification portfolio, vertically integrated production capabilities and strict compliance systems, ADDVANCE is positioned as a trusted partner for major European retailers, pharmacies and brand owners who require consistent safety, reliability and regulatory accuracy across large product categories.
