▌#Practical case Leading registration of flame retardant products

A domestic enterprise completed the pre-registration of a flame retardant product K-REACH in 2019, and the enterprise decided to compete for the role of the lead registrant in order to further control the market and expand its competitive advantage with its peers.

With the technical support of Jireh Standard, the company successfully ran for the lead registrar and formed a CICO group and completed the lead registration dossier at the first time, which eventually passed the official audit. After the enterprise completed the registration, Esler Standard assisted in selling the data to other co-registrants to obtain the revenue of the lead registrant for the enterprise.
