Martin Lacey, quality assurance and regulatory affairs manager at Remel commented: "This is a great achievement for Remel Europe.
"The Dartford factory only began operating in January this year and so we came into the time frame quite late.
"We became registered for the CE mark in April this year, just four months into operation, and now, having updated all of our packaging and labels for CE mark, as well as instructions for use which have been translated and printed in six different languages, we are fully compliant well ahead of the deadline".
