Avenues To Help Your Product Succeed
Regulation Mapping & Planning
UL Consultants, powered by Connaughton Group LLC, will identify all the applicable Codes, Standards, Laws, Regulation and Directives at the Nation, Regional and Local levels required to meet the Minimum Conformity Assessment (CA) requirements for legal market entry while detailing your Conformity Assessment strategy and potential opportunities and challenges.
Technical File Creation
A Technical File (TF) comprises relevant information, which must demonstrate that all requirements of the applicable Codes, Standards, Laws, Regulation, and Directives at the Nation, Regional and Local levels have been satisfied. The Technical File is also technical proof for the manufacturer, the authorized representative, or the importer that serves as a defense with regard to liability claims.
Project Management
Leveraging our vast network of global laboratory contacts with TIC industry leaders such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek Group Plc. (ETL), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), TUV Rheinland (TUV R) we are able to not only provide you with multiple competitive quotations we will also manage it through the TIC process as your regulatory agent(s).
Product Design Reviews (PDR)
The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) is a technical assessment that establishes the allocated baseline of a product or a system to ensure it is in effective compliance with selected standard(s), regulation(s) or directive(s) conducted BEFORE the submission of the product or system to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) or Certified Body Testing Laboratory (CBTL).
