A technical sanction is a measure taken by a governmental or regulatory authority to prohibit certain activities or impose specific conditions or restrictions on certain activities due to safety or other technical concerns. Technical sanctions are often used in industries where there is a potential risk to public health, safety, or the environment. For example, a government agency may impose technical sanctions on a pharmaceutical company if it finds that the company's manufacturing process does not meet certain safety standards. Technical sanctions may also be imposed on a manufacturer if its products do not meet certain performance or safety standards.
Technical sanctions can have a significant impact on a company's operations and may even lead to the closure of a facility or the recall of a product. Therefore, it is important for companies to be aware of the potential for technical sanctions and to take steps to comply with all applicable regulations.
