EU & UK market access
CE marking without the maze
Directives, harmonized standards, testing coordination, and technical documentation — handled end to end for EU and UK market access.
What this engagement covers
We map every applicable EU directive (and UK equivalent), select the right conformity assessment route (self-declaration vs notified body), build a lean test matrix, coordinate labs, and assemble the Declaration of Conformity and technical file so you can place products on the market with confidence.
Best fit for
- Hardware OEMs launching in the EU or UK for the first time
- Teams stuck between LVD, EMC, RED, Machinery, and RoHS overlaps
- Importers needing EU / UK Authorized Representative support
- Products changing design, radio, or power architecture mid-certification
What's included
- Directive & regulation applicability matrix by SKU
- Conformity assessment module selection (Annex routes)
- Gap analysis against design, BOM, and existing reports
- Lab RFQ, scheduling, failure triage, and retest strategy
- DoC / UK DoC, technical file structure, and labeling review
- GPSR / economic operator obligations when applicable

How we work
One clear path from classification to market-ready evidence.
Classify
Product family, intended use, and economic operator role
Scope
Directives, standards, and assessment modules
Evidence
Testing, construction review, and file build
Declare
DoC signing readiness and post-market surveillance prep
Engineering notes
We separate “must-test” vs “can-reuse” evidence so you do not re-run every clause when a radio module or PSU already has a valid report.
Technical files are structured for market surveillance: risk assessment, standards list, test reports, drawings, labeling, and DoC traceability.
Directive map you can defend
Fewer redundant tests
Audit-ready technical file
