More about our services

Testing & Assessment

Our testing and assessment engineers are highly experienced in helping manufacturers get their products compliant. At our EMC and Electrical Safety Testing facilities, all tests are undertaken in accordance with the applicable designated standards. If your product demonstrates any non-conformity, we have the facilities, resources and expertise to help you find a simple or cost-effective solution.

Full Turn-Key Solutions

Full management of your Product Compliance process from the initial design stage through to product launch.

You can involve us from the outset, ensuring that compliance is designed in right from the start to help ensure that you have no nasty surprises when it comes to testing your product. If you have already designed and manufactured your prototype, or your product is already being produced, we can take it off your hands and assess it against the applicable harmonised standards, and assist you with rectifying any non-conformities that may arise.

Even if you have been manufacturing your product for some time, but your CE marking needs some updating, we can identify where the gaps are to ensure that you are kept up to date with current requirements and legislation.

Advice & Consultancy

We will hold your hand and guide you through the process! If you only require assistance with one or two aspects of UKCA marking we will give you as much or as little help as you need.

Example support could include;

Advice on any aspect of product legislation and international approvals

We provide unbiased and accurate information about UKCA marking, current product legislation, Regulations, and guidance on how to fulfil your legal obligations, without overwhelming you with legal jargon and unnecessary technical gobbledygook.

Identifying the appropriate Directives

It’s not always easy to know where to begin, as even identifying the right Regulations that apply to your products can lead many people to fall at the first hurdle. We can tell you which Regulation you need to meet, and why, and how.

Undertaking Risk Assessments

Some (but not all) Regulations require you to perform a risk assessment. We can undertake a ‘product focused’ risk assessment of your product, or show you how.

Identifying the Appropriate Standards

There are thousands of standards that can be used to help you assess the safety of your product, but finding the right one can be a challenge. More often than not there won’t be a standard that wholly applies to your product, particularly if it is new, innovative, or unique in some way so it is important to find the right standards to use. We can help identify the right standards, or parts of standards, right from the outset.

Laboratory Testing or On-Site Testing

We have excellent EMC and Electrical Safety Testing facilities to test your products to ensure they meet the applicable designated standards. All tests are undertaken in accordance with the applicable designated standards (See below for further details). We can also perform many types of mechanical testing and assessment such as, load, impact, humidity, endurance, etc. Please contact us for further details.

Production of Technical Documentation

A major part of the UKCA marking process is demonstrating how your product meets the requirements of the Directives, and how you have determined that your product is safe. All of this evidence needs to be held in a Technical (Construction) File, which needs to contain a sufficient level of detail and be suitably comprehensive. We can help you compile your Technical File and Technical Documentation, or audit the file that you have generated.

Production of a Declaration of Conformity

The Declaration of Conformity is a legal requirement and is a critical stage of completing the process, so it’s very important to get it right! It is also the information that you will be providing to your customers to demonstrate that your product meets all of the relevant conformity requirements, so it is very important that the information it contains is accurate, adequate, and up-to-date.

Training to perform your own tests and assessments

We can, show you how to perform your own tests and assessments; help you understand the conformity process; help you identify the right Directives, Regulations and standards; help you compile your own Technical Documentation; and, show you how to keep your company up-to-date with new legislation.
