What is a Knowledge Point?

In this article, we explain what Knowledge Point is.

A Knowledge Point, also known as a KP, is a regulatory fact, recommendation, guidance or piece of scientific data. It offers technical expertise regarding the ingredients. 

The Knowledge Point presents information to the user in a concise, clear and easily understandable format.

In SGS Digicomply, knowledge points are a key feature and are utilized in several modules, including Regulatory Agenda, Food Regulatory Guides, Nutriwise, Restricted Substances, etc.

Regulatory Agenda

By selecting a market, you will be able to view the upcoming due dates for a regulatory event/ change, which can be explored individually.

Click on the KP to read the details and check the regulatory reference as pinned in the Knowledge Point. 

 

Food Regulatory Guides

Select the desired country from the Food Regulatory Guides on the Home Page.

After accessing the regulatory guide, you have the option to choose the regulatory class/area that you are interested in, e.g. Labelling requirements - Labelling of GMOs and Bioengineered Food. Simply click on the text beneath the heading Labelling of GMOs and Bioengineered Food, and it will guide you to the knowledge point offering precise details and references.

Nutriwise

Knowledge Point in Nutriwise is nothing but a piece of information that allows us to group one or more items (posts, ingredients, etc.)  that are related to the same topic. 

For example, a KP could be for an ingredient limit. With a KP you can link a specific limit for an ingredient to a specific market, indicating also the regulation where it comes from.

Restricted Substances

Select the desired county, product and substance

Go to the limit, click on the Knowledge Point to read the details and check the regulatory reference as pinned in this Knowledge Point.
