Product Certification
We prepare your products’ conformity with CE marking and product standards, from preliminary assessment and technical file to testing and the declaration of conformity.
We Prepare Your Product for the Target Market
To place a product on the market at home or abroad, you often need to know which legislation and standards apply, how conformity is demonstrated and which tests are required. We map this route according to your product type and target market, prepare the technical file, and coordinate the tests and the certification process.
Service Scope
CE marking
We identify the EU directives and regulations that apply to your product, select the conformity assessment route, and prepare the technical file and the content of the EU declaration of conformity. We manage the process until the CE mark is affixed and, for products that require a notified body, coordinate correspondence with that body.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
We plan the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests for electrical and electronic products, coordinate the tests with laboratories and link the test reports to the technical file.
Low voltage (LVD) and electrical safety
For products within the scope of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), we plan the electrical safety tests, coordinate the tests with laboratories and support the technical file with the test reports.
Product standards (TS, EN, ISO)
We evaluate your product against national and international product standards (TS, EN, ISO), report the gaps and follow up on closing them.
Product Certification Process
Requirements analysis
We identify the legislation and standards that apply to your product, its intended use and your target market.
Conformity assessment
We compare your product’s current state with the requirements and list the gaps to be closed.
Technical file
We prepare the technical file, including design, risk analysis and test records, and keep it up to date.
Testing and certification
We coordinate the process with the test and certification bodies and link the results to the technical file.
Continuity
We set up a follow-up routine so that conformity is maintained in production and the file is updated when changes occur.
A Clear Path to Market Entry
A well-managed conformity process avoids unnecessary testing and repeated work, and lowers the likelihood that your product runs into problems in the target market because of missing paperwork or tests.
- Access to the target market
- Documented regulatory compliance
- A predictable timeline
- No repeated testing or file work
Frequently Asked Questions
It varies by product type, intended use and target market. In the first step, we review your product and the countries you will sell to, and together draw up the list of applicable legislation, the required marks and documents, and the tests.
It depends on the complexity of the product and the tests required; after the requirements analysis, we give you a timeline. The factors that most affect the process are usually the schedules of the test laboratories and missing information in the technical file; we try to clarify both at an early stage.
It depends on which legislation applies. For some products the manufacturer can assess conformity itself, while for others the involvement of an independent body is mandatory. Even where self-assessment is sufficient, test reports are one of the common forms of evidence of conformity in the technical file. We determine in the first step which route applies and which tests are needed.
