Our Testing and Certification Services

We coordinate a full range of testing and certification services, ensuring that your product undergoes the necessary evaluations to meet the applicable regulations. Our services are tailored to your specific needs, depending on the nature of your product and the target market.

1. Identifying Required Tests

Our first step is to identify which tests and certifications are required for your product. We help you navigate the complex landscape of regulations and provide expert advice on the testing protocols that are applicable to your product category.

• EU and UK Testing Requirements: Whether you're preparing for CE or UKCA marking, we identify the specific testing requirements set by EU directives, UK regulations, and other applicable standards.
• Global Testing Standards: For products destined for markets outside the EU and UK, we identify the testing requirements for other regions, such as the U.S. (UL testing), Canada (CSA certification), and more.

2. Coordination with Accredited Testing Laboratories

We coordinate with accredited testing laboratories to ensure that your product undergoes the necessary tests in compliance with safety standards. We ensure that the laboratories we work with are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, ensuring that test results are credible and meet regulatory expectations.

• Laboratory Selection: We help identify and liaise with the best-suited labs for your product’s specific testing needs.
• Scheduling and Logistics: We manage the entire testing process, including scheduling, coordinating logistics, and handling communication between you and the testing facility.

3. Product Testing for Safety, Performance, and Environmental Impact

We facilitate a range of product tests to evaluate key safety, performance, and environmental standards, ensuring that your product meets the required regulations.

• Electrical Safety Testing: Testing for compliance with electrical safety standards, such as IEC 60950 for electrical products.
• EMC Testing (Electromagnetic Compatibility): Ensuring that your product meets electromagnetic compatibility requirements (such as EN 55032) and doesn’t interfere with other devices.
• Environmental Testing: Assessing your product’s environmental impact, such as compliance with RoHS, REACH, and other sustainability regulations.
• Mechanical and Durability Testing: Evaluating the strength, durability, and operational performance of your product under various conditions.

4. Certification & Compliance Documentation

Once testing is complete, we manage the process of obtaining the necessary certificates of conformity and compliance documentation required to legally sell your product in the target market.

• CE Certification: We ensure that your product meets EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements for CE marking, preparing all the necessary documentation, including declarations of conformity and technical files.
• UKCA Certification: We facilitate the process of obtaining the UKCA marking, ensuring that your product complies with UK regulations post-Brexit.
• International Certifications: For global market access, we help with obtaining certifications such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) for the U.S., CSA (Canadian Standards Association) for Canada, and other region-specific certifications.

5. Ongoing Monitoring and Re-certification

Once your product is certified, we help ensure that it remains compliant with changing regulations and industry standards. Our services include periodic audits, testing, and re-certification to maintain compliance throughout the product lifecycle.

• Market Surveillance: We provide ongoing market surveillance services to ensure that your product continues to meet regulatory standards, reducing the risk of recalls or fines.
• Regulatory Updates: We monitor changes in product safety and environmental regulations and inform you of any changes that may affect your product's certification status.
• Re-certification Assistance: For products that require re-certification after a certain period or after design changes, we assist with the process to maintain compliance.
