Document background
The Manufacturing Contract serves as a crucial legal framework for establishing manufacturing relationships under Belgian law. This document is essential when a company (the client) wants to engage another company (the manufacturer) to produce specific products according to defined specifications. The Manufacturing Contract covers all vital aspects of the manufacturing relationship, including production requirements, quality standards, intellectual property protection, risk allocation, and regulatory compliance. It is particularly important in the Belgian context where manufacturing must comply with both national regulations and EU directives. The contract should be used when establishing new manufacturing partnerships or formalizing existing manufacturing arrangements, ensuring clear delineation of responsibilities and rights between parties while maintaining compliance with Belgian commercial, industrial, and safety regulations.
