RAPS Selects ForeignExchange for Regulatory Affairs Translation

The Regulatory Affairs Professional Society (RAPS) has selected ForeignExchange Translations to translate the former’s Fundamentals of Japanese Regulatory Affairs handbook.

RAPS publishes books that help regulatory professionals navigate the labyrinth of international drug and device approvals. The books are also used as study guides for the Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) exams. RAPS provides RAC for US, European Union, Canadian and General Scope regulatory affairs.

Fundamentals of Japanese Regulatory Affairs was originally written in Japanese. In order to provide an English edition, RAPS set out to find a suitable translation provider who could not only handle the language requirements but also the specific subject matter of drug and device regulatory affairs.

The project has started and the English edition of the handbook should be available in mid-2010.
