GLGlossary

Labeling and advertising.

The rules that apply to the information written on a product's container, packaging, and instructions, and to the advertising that promotes the product.

There are standards to follow for labeling content and advertising expressions, so we review them together during the preparation stage. The range of permissible expressions can vary depending on the product type and the intended purpose claimed. The appropriateness of specific wording can be confirmed through review.

Related work & timing

Labeling requirements and advertising expressions are reviewed together during the approval preparation stage and adjusted so that they do not conflict with the applicable standards.
