Product Certification is the procedure of conformity assessment, whereby independent from the manufacturer and the consumer organization certifies in writing, that the product meets the described requirements to quality and safety. Our approach to certification is a complete solution of all possible problems in the area of certification:
- Certifying body selection
- Preparation and submission of application for the certification
- Preparation of all necessary documents, including their translation into the needed language
- Delivery of the product samples to an accredited laboratory for certification tests conduction, as well as control over the tests conduction and the certificate issuance
- Verification of the received test reports and a product certificate
Promwad’s testing and QA department as well as hardware development department have deep expertise in matters of certification according to the standards of CE, FCC, RST, etc. Therefore all company developments are implemented taking into consideration all these requirements.
We work with leading laboratories in Eastern Europe to conduct all needed tests. One of our main partner laboratories is five minutes from our design house, so that allows us to test our devices as often as it is necessary.
