Classification and choice of scheme

In short

We determine the product's HS code, which technical regulations of the target market apply to it and how conformity is confirmed: certificate, declaration, state registration, voluntary certification - or whether no document is needed at all.

Launching a new product, importing, entering retail chains or marketplaces, a question from a buyer or a regulator.

A description and photos of the product, composition or materials, intended use, manufacturer and country of origin.

Whether the product falls under technical regulations and lists of products subject to mandatory conformity assessment, and whether several regulations overlap.

A conclusion: which regulations apply, which document is needed and under which scheme.

Analysis01 / 08

Classification and choice of scheme

which document your product actually needs

We determine the product's HS code, which technical regulations of the target market apply to it and how conformity is confirmed: certificate, declaration, state registration, voluntary certification - or whether no document is needed at all.

Mandatory conformity02 / 08

Conformity certificate

what the rules require to put the product on the market

The strictest form: conformity is confirmed by an accredited certification body on the basis of testing and, for some schemes, a production assessment. The certificate is entered into the official register.

Mandatory conformity03 / 08

Declaration of conformity

what the rules require to put the product on the market

Conformity is declared by the applicant - the manufacturer or importer - on the basis of test reports and supporting documents. The declaration is registered in the official register.

Mandatory conformity04 / 08

Product state registration

what the rules require to put the product on the market

Certain product types require state registration with the food-safety authority: infant and specialised food, dietary supplements, some chemical and household products. Without a registration certificate they cannot be placed on the market.

Voluntary conformity05 / 08

Voluntary certification and exemption letters

what chains, marketplaces and customers ask for

If a product is not on the mandatory lists, conformity can be confirmed voluntarily against national standards. If no document is required at all, we arrange an exemption letter that confirms this for chains, marketplaces and customs.

Evidence and marking06 / 08

Testing and test reports

what the document rests on and how to show it

Test reports are the basis of every certificate and declaration. We arrange sampling and testing in a laboratory accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 for the required parameters.

Evidence and marking07 / 08

Conformity marking

what the document rests on and how to show it

Once the document is issued, the conformity mark is applied to the product and packaging. We check the label: mandatory consumer information, manufacturer, dates, storage conditions.

Serial production08 / 08

Serial production and updates

A document is tied to the product, the manufacturer and the rules. When the recipe, design, supplier or requirements change, we review the document and reissue it if needed.

Scope depends on the product and its HS codesResult

What you get

A conclusion on classification and conformity scheme, Test reports from an accredited laboratory, Certificate, declaration or state registration in the register, A verified label with the conformity mark, A document update schedule
