Feature Overview

You can find a list of limitations and risks related to project modules in this document.

What is a project module?

1. Project modules break down certain compliance requirements into actionable steps.

2. You can add project modules when creating a Compliance Requirements List.

Which project modules are included?

You can find a list of US, EU and UK project modules (and the data and versions these are based on) in these documents:

• US Database
• EU Database
• UK Database

How do you create project modules?

1. We create project modules based on selected requirements for manufacturers/producers under certain regulations or groups of regulations.

2. Note that some project modules are more strictly based on a single regulation (i.e., EU GPSR) while other project modules provide a more generalised procedure based on requirements common to many products (i.e., CE marking).

How should I use a project module?

1. A project module provides a list of tasks that correspond to key requirements within certain regulations or other areas of product compliance. The project modules can help you keep track of progress.

2. That said, you must ultimately take action based on the latest version of the relevant regulation, guidance page, or other source. You should not take action based on the project module alone for the following reasons:

a. Project modules may not contain all tasks that must be completed for a certain product (other regulations/requirements not covered by project modules may still apply).

b. Project modules may not contain all tasks that must be completed to comply with the regulation/requirement these are based on (for example, there are other tasks under GPSR that can apply in some cases, but are not covered by the project module).

c. Project modules are only reviewed and subject to updates after an annual audit in October each year. As such, the project modules can be outdated if the regulations, guidance pages, or sources are updated.

Sources and versions

1. Some project modules are based on specified parts of legislation texts and/or official guidance pages/documents.

Note: Not all project modules are based on a specific source. Certain project modules are only intended to provide a generalised breakdown of selected tasks.

2. We primarily use data from the following sources:

• europa.eu
• EUR Lex
• eCFR
• US government agency websites (e.g., CPSC, FCC, FDA, DOE, FTC, and USDA)
• gov.uk
• legislation.gov.uk

3. Each project module is based on the source version (or other information) available at the time of creation (a more recent version of the source may be available).

4. You can find information about the versions, sources, and how we manage updates in the following documents:

• US Database
• EU Database
• UK Database
