Regulatory Compliance Assistance Services
Ensure your plant operates legally, safely, and efficiently. Delflow Industries Ltd provides end-to-end Regulatory Compliance Assistance Services for manufacturing and allied chemical businesses — from initial permitting and product registration to ongoing audits, training, and regulatory liaison. Our service is built for Nigerian and international requirements and is tailored for small and medium scale plants that need pragmatic, actionable compliance support.
Why regulatory compliance matters
Regulatory compliance reduces legal risk, avoids costly shutdowns, protects workers and communities, improves market access, and strengthens customer trust. For chemical and manufacturing operators in Nigeria, compliance spans multiple agencies and requirements — environmental standards (NESREA), product registration and chemical controls (NAFDAC), national standards and testing (SON), and legally required environmental impact assessments (EIA).
Who we help
Start-ups and greenfield chemical / allied products plants
Existing small & medium manufacturing facilities needing regulatory remediation
Exporters needing compliance to international standards (GHS, ISO)
Companies preparing for certification (ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001) or market approvals
Core services (what we deliver)
1. Regulatory landscape mapping & gap analysis
We perform a tailored compliance map showing which laws, regulations and standards apply to your facility, products, and processes — e.g., NESREA environmental regulations, NAFDAC chemical/product regulations, SON standards, and EIA requirements — then deliver a prioritized gap report and remediation roadmap.
Deliverables: regulatory register, prioritized gap table, risk scoring, remediation plan.
2. Permitting, licences & EIA support
We prepare and manage permit applications, environmental permits, and EIA submissions, compiling technical reports, monitoring plans, stakeholder engagement records, and liaison with relevant agencies to improve approval speed and completeness. The Nigerian EIA Act and implementing procedures require appropriate documentation for projects with environmental impacts; we prepare submissions to meet these legal standards.
Deliverables: permit application packages, EIA reports, public consultation documentation, application follow-ups.
3. Product registration, labeling & chemical compliance
For chemical products, we handle product classification, preparation of dossiers, and registration with relevant authorities (e.g., NAFDAC) — including safety data sheets (SDS), labels compliant with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), packaging requirements, and local labeling rules. We ensure your product documentation meets both Nigerian and widely-adopted international requirements.
Deliverables: product dossiers, GHS-compliant SDS, label templates, registration applications.
4. Management systems & ISO alignment
We design and implement integrated management systems (Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety) aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — from documentation and process maps to internal audit programmes and management review frameworks — to help you reduce risk and prepare for certification.
Deliverables: manuals, procedures, forms, audit checklists, training plans.
5. Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) programs
Practical EHS solutions: process hazard assessments, chemical inventory and substitution strategies, emergency response plans, waste management and effluent controls, occupational health surveillance, and fire & safety compliance. We apply best-available techniques and local regulatory limits to keep operations within acceptable environmental and safety thresholds.
Deliverables: HAZID/HAZOP summaries, emergency response plan, waste management plan, monitoring schedules.
6. Audits, inspections & regulatory defence
Regular compliance audits (internal and third-party readiness), mock inspections with corrective action tracking, and representation during regulatory inspections or enforcement actions. We provide robust documentation and evidence packages to reduce enforcement risk and close findings quickly.
Deliverables: audit reports, CAPA plans, inspection support.
7. Training & capacity building
Practical training for shop-floor personnel and managers on GHS, permit obligations, permit-driven monitoring, safe handling of chemicals, incident reporting, and ISO system awareness. Training is hands-on and supplied with materials and competency checklists.
Deliverables: training slides, attendance records, competency assessments.
8. Regulatory liaison & change monitoring
We act as your single point of contact for regulators — preparing responses, managing timelines, and keeping your compliance program current as regulations (and agency practices) change. We monitor updates from NESREA, NAFDAC, SON and other relevant bodies so you don’t miss crucial changes.
Deliverables: regulator correspondence log, alerts on regulatory changes, quarterly compliance briefings.
Our approach — practical, risk-based, and outcome focused
Assess — rapid diagnostic to identify legal obligations and high-risk gaps.
Plan — pragmatic remediation roadmap with clear owners, costs and timelines.
Deliver — we handle documentation, submissions, training and system setup.
Operate — ongoing audits, monitoring, and continuous improvement to keep you compliant.
We prioritise interventions that reduce biggest legal and operational risks first (permits, product registration, hazardous waste control), then move to optimisation and certification readiness.
