About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Proregulations Guides Cosmetics Market Entry Across Divergent Japan and South Korea Pathways

By: Get News
Professional compliance consulting firm Proregulations releases latest guide on market entry for cosmetics in Japan and South Korea.

New York, USA - October 15, 2025 - Proregulations today released its latest guide on market entry requirements for cosmetics in Japan and South Korea. The latest regulatory updates highlight the contrast between the two nations' market access frameworks. To address these variations, Proregulations offers specialized market entry solutions to assist companies in selecting the optimal strategy based on their product profiles.

The Japan cosmetics compliance system includes a strict two-tiered regulatory framework that distinguishes general cosmetics from Quasi-Drugs—a category encompassing products like sunscreens and whitening agents. All product categories must comply with the Japanese cosmetic standards for ingredients, and Quasi-Drugs are subject to an additional, rigorous pre-market approval process. For foreign manufacturers, a key challenge is obtaining accreditation from Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), and the registration process requires 4 to 12 months to complete.

According to South Korea's cosmetics regulations, any company intending to import, distribute, or sell cosmetics must first complete the qualification registration as a Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH), which is the prerequisite for compliant market entry. On this basis, general cosmetics need to submit a product notification to the Korea Pharmaceutical Traders Association (KPTA) for market access, whereas functional cosmetics must obtain pre-approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), the core of which is passing rigorous safety and efficacy evaluations.

"Currently, the requirements for importing cosmetics in both Japan and South Korea are well-established. As important cosmetic markets in the Asia-Pacific region and even globally, they hold significant market potential," said the head of Asia-Pacific at Proregulations. "Given the regulatory differences between the two markets, we recommend that companies develop detailed market entry strategies. This is particularly critical for specialized categories like Quasi-Drugs and functional cosmetics, which face higher compliance requirements, more complex registration procedures, and stricter reviews in Japan and South Korea."

Proregulations now offers specialized compliance solutions tailored to the distinct regulatory frameworks for the Japan and South Korea markets. These services cover key steps such as foreign manufacturer accreditation and Quasi-Drug registration for Japan, as well as general and functional cosmetics registration and post-market surveillance for South Korea. Proregulations's team provides expert support throughout the entire compliance process, from product registration and safety assessments to customized consulting solutions.
