Note: We only check if a certain file item is present (i.e., a company name that is indicated as the manufacturer). However, we cannot verify if this data is correctly specified (i.e., the actual name of the manufacturer). Here are some other examples:

a. Some regulations may specify that “installation instructions” is required. If so, we can only assess if such instructions are present. We cannot determine if these are correct as this would require product specific knowledge that we do not have.

b. Some regulations may require technical documentation that includes product drawings or risk assessments. We can only assess if such information is present. We cannot determine if the drawings or risk assessments are accurate.

FAQ

What is the purpose of this service?

1. This service can help you understand if your label files, declaration of conformity, technical documentation, and test reports comply with certain parts of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016.

2. We also take selected parts from other UK regulations into consideration (see service scope above).

3. We check test reports corresponding to various UK regulations relevant to electronic products (see service scope above)

What is this service based on?

This service is based on the specified regulations of the listed UK regulations. No other articles, parts, regulations, guidance pages, documents, standards, or other information are taken into consideration.

What do I need to start the process?

We will contact you to request the following information once you have placed your order:

• Product information
• Company information
• Label file
• Document file
• Test reports

What if I don’t have all the files?

In that case we will review what we have. However, we will still list items that can be useful when creating your own files.

For example, if you do not have a label file, we will still include items from the covered articles/regulations/parts in the report. This can be useful when creating your own label files.

You will receive a report that will help you understand the following:

In some cases, we also specify recommended actions.

How many products do you review?

How long does the process take?

Normally 7 business days from the time we have received all the requested information. Note that a delay in providing the required information will also result in a delayed delivery.

Does this service cover all UK regulations for electronic products?

No, this service is primarily based on the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016. There are many other regulations applicable to electronic products in the UK. Here are some examples:

• The Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016
• The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012
• The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013
• The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
• The Radio Equipment Regulations 2017
• The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010
• Energy Labelling Framework Regulation (EU) 2017/1369
• The Plugs and Sockets (Safety) etc. Regulations 1994
• The Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (Security Requirements for Relevant Connectable Products) Regulations 2023
• The Batteries and Accumulators (Placing on the Market) Regulations 2008
• The Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009
• Capacity Labelling Regulation (EU) 1103/2010

Unless specified on this page, we do not take these into consideration as part of the review process.

Why don’t you cover all UK regulations for electronic products?

That would drastically increase the workload and therefore increase the cost of this service. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide if you deem the price and value of this service to be acceptable, despite its limitations.

Why is the service primarily based on the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016?

There are several reasons for this:

1. The Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 is applicable to most electronic products

2. Many of the labelling and documentation requirements found in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 are similar to those in other regulations.

As such, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 is often a good starting point.

Do you compare the files and information to all Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 requirements?

No, we do not compare your files to the entirety of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016.

Which parts of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 are covered in the check?

The specific regulations the service is based on can be found on this page. We also specify the regulations and provide source texts in the report.

Why is the check only based on parts of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016?​​

If the service was based on a review covering the entire Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016, then the process would be many times more time consuming. This would also result in a significantly increased price.

We have selected parts of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 that we know manufacturers and importers often get wrong. That being said, we do not claim that the review is based on the entire regulation. This means that other requirements in the regulation can still apply to your product, even though these are not mentioned or referenced in the report.

Do you guarantee or certify compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016?

No, we do not guarantee or certify products as compliant with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016. We do not conduct a physical evaluation or testing process of the product. Further, we only review and check the files and information provided.

Further, we operate based on the assumption that testing companies provide a truthful verification of test reports upon request.

Will this report become outdated at some point?

Yes, regulations can be amended or even replaced by entirely new legislation. For example, the articles/regulations/parts that the review process is based on can be subject to change.

Note that we always specify which version of the regulation the report is based on.
