Nature of Business
ICS Inc. is a team of Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs specialists. We are a consortium of chemists, biochemists, biologists and microbiologists. We aid developers, manufacturers, marketers and importers / exporters to meet their legal requirements. Our focus is on the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, cosmetics, functional foods, feed and natural health products industries.
Our services span from the "cradle to the grave" in the life of a product.
Examples include:
- performing scientific literature searches;
- performing Drug Submissions;
- helping companies to design, implement and audit their QA programmes (i.e.: GMP, GLP, GCP, HACCP, ISO 17025 and ISO 13485);
- coordinating Clinical Trials;
- performing 3rd party QA audits of manufacturers and labs on behalf of clients;
- ensuring all ingredients, labels and marketing information are compliant to Health Canada, FDA, etc., and
- managing the entire spectrum of Regulatory Affairs issues to ensure that all paperwork is submitted to the appropriate health authority in a timely and accurate manner.
Major Achievements
- We have helped well over 200 organizations (in Canada and throughout the world) with their QA/QC programmes, Drug Submissions, Clinical Trials, Labelling materials and Regulatory Affairs issues. These companies range from fewer than 5 people up to some of the world's largest manufacturers.
- ICS has trained over 1,000 people and has presented at a wide variety of conferences.
- We have also been successful in linking Canadian manufacturers with foreign marketers (and vice versa).
- Due to our ever-expanding range of industry contacts, we are uniquely positioned to provide referrals to pre-qualified service providers (such as: raw material & equipment suppliers, commercial labs, contract researchers / manufacturers / processors / packagers / labellers, brokers and translators).

Company Background
ICS Inc. was formed by Dale Enright in June of 1999. Our focus is assisting smaller to mid-size companies throughout Canada, with their QA and Regulatory requirements.
Due to our ability to provide exceptional services at highly-competitive pricing and our desire to build mutually beneficial long-term relationships with our clients, we have continually expanded our range of service & expertise by attracting the best people available. If we do not have the internal expertise, we have access to a global network of professionals whom we subcontract on a confidential, case-by-case basis.
Consequently, our client base has now grown to span the globe as a full-service company.
Over the years we have also developed excellent working relationships with various regulatory authorities (i.e.: Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada, NHP Directorate, FDA, TGA, etc.).
We have developed and continually refined both our general and specific training courses on Quality Assurance (i.e.: GMP, GLP, GCP, HACCP, etc.). These courses are also routinely updated to include the constant changes to the regulatory environment and technological & scientific advances within the industry. These training sessions are presented as open seminars and as company-tailored programs.
Desired Investment Partnerships
ICS Inc. is open to inquiries concerning mutually beneficial alliances. In unique situations, ICS may forgo some of our up-front service fees for a % of back-end revenues generated by our clients product(s).
