Regulatory Assessments
Are you preparing to place a product on the EU market, import it or reassess it after a change? The key question is: Which rules apply to this particular product, and what documentation and decisions do you need before launch?
Explore the main regulatory topics and practical steps for your situation.
New product: You are developing or manufacturing a product and need to establish the relevant EU requirements before launch.
Import: You are sourcing outside the EU and need to understand the responsibilities and evidence associated with your role.
Product change: Software, functions, components or intended use have changed and existing evidence needs to be reconsidered.
Combined product: Your product may include machinery, radio technology, electronics or digital functions and touch several regulatory areas.
EU regulations and directives set legal requirements. Harmonised European standards may help demonstrate compliance with particular requirements. One machinery-safety example is EN ISO 12100 concerning risk assessment and risk reduction. Whether a given edition of a standard is relevant to a particular product requires a separate review.
This overview is not a conformity assessment against individual DIN, EN, ISO or IEC standards.
This page explains potential regulatory topics. Your actual product, relevant date, current law and each assessment's stated scope determine what can be concluded.
