Product Certification

Without product certification, there is no access to national and international markets. That makes it all the more important to meet regulatory requirements early and in a structured way. The TQ-Product-Compliance-Center specializes in international certifications all around the globe and has supported customers throughout testing and approval processes for more than 30 years, all the way to successful market approval.

CE Marking for the EU market

The CE marking is a prerequisite for the distribution of numerous products in the European market. It includes requirements for product safety, EMC, radio, environmental compliance, and increasingly cybersecurity, as well as the updated Machinery Regulation. TQ-PCC supports the entire process through to successful conformity assessment.

 

International Market Access

Anyone marketing outside the EU requires country-specific approvals. TQ-PCC guides you safely through the complex requirements of international markets. We work with you to develop a tailored global approval strategy and ensure efficient implementation. You can find an overview of relevant countries and requirements here.

Have a product certified – why the timing is crucial

Many manufacturers only bring their products for certification once development is complete. That is the most expensive time. Three typical mistakes that early involvement helps prevent:

Anyone who plans product certification early saves in two areas at once: fewer redesigns thanks to standards-compliant design from the outset and shorter approval times because the required documentation is already created during the development process. At TQ, we prepare your product for later product certification during development, saving you time, money, and subsequent changes.

FAQs about product certification

What is a product certification and when is it mandatory?

A product certification is proof that a product meets the applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the respective target market.Many electrical and electronic products require conformity assessment and CE marking before being placed on the EU market. Third-party certification is only mandatory for certain product categories. Outside the EU, country-specific approval requirements apply, such as FCC (USA), KC (South Korea), or TELEC (Japan). Without the respective approval, a product may neither be sold nor put into operation in the relevant market.

How long does a product certification for electronics take?

The duration depends heavily on the product type, the relevant directives, and the target market. A CE conformity assessment for a simple electronic device can be completed in just a few weeks; complex systems with multiple directives or international approvals may take several months. TQ recommends planning the certification process early and starting in parallel with development.

How much does product certification cost?

The cost of a product certification depends on the individual project and the tests required. The following aspects are decisive for pricing:

  • Type of product (development stage, product category)
  • Intended use of the product (industry, commercial use, private use, stationary or mobile)
  • Operating environment (e.g. indoors/outdoors, use in vehicles, special requirements such as dust, moisture)
  • Target markets (EU: CE, USA: FCC & NRTL and many more)
  • Required tests (conformity tests such as EMC, safety, radio, cybersecurity; is certification desired?)
