High-end strategic regulatory consulting for European market entry, backed by 40 years of medical device expertise and practical authority-facing support.
Boumans Regulatory Consulting offers high end expertise in regulatory strategic consulting for companies interested in entering the European markets. 40 years of experience with medical devices, ranging from product development, via scientific studies, standardization, and a position as senior inspector for the Dutch competent authority, to consulting with global clients.
A very strong feature is the option to reserve a small budget that can be used to get detailed, strategically smart answers to regulatory questions. In other cases, companies have been assisted in their communication with the authorities, notified bodies, press, and others in various high-risk cases. The more traditional consulting projects are also possible, but Boumans Regulatory Consulting prefers to make companies do their work, instead of taking the regulatory work out of their hands.
This consulting comes under the motto:
A good pilot can land a plane in a storm
An excellent pilot knows when to fly around bad weather
