Regulations

Since Switzerland exports 90% of its products (mostly to the EU), it very often adopts EU law.

The implementation of these rules and regulations is the responsibility of our Swiss authorities, who ensure compliance in a proportionate and judicious manner.

Or rather: could.

The question is: should a micro-enterprise like mine be treated the same as a company like, say, Weleda?

In Switzerland, 22% of all employees work in micro-enterprises like mine (i.e. 1 to 10 employees).

Even with products made from natural materials, one must monitor the safety of the raw materials, the hygiene of the manufacturing process, and the formulation in terms of allergens.

Of course.

These are calculated values, easily verifiable information, and acquired expertise.
And not rocket science.

Yes: one has to dive into the subject intensively.
But it is doable. Provided the authorities empower and support you in doing so.

Two years ago, I went through a real battle with my regulatory agency and was rewarded with EU law being applied to me in a proportionate manner.

But that can change at any time.
Depending on the person working at the agency.

One reason for this is that Swiss authorities often implement EU law in a disproportionate manner.
