The best way to ensure a safety standard compliant product is to get it right in the design phase. Even large corporations with knowledgeable staff regularly seek outside assistance from the product safety experts at CertifiGroup.

If you don't have a designer or design staff trained in product safety, you might be rolling the dice right from the drawing board. You need to make sure your product design is problem-free from the beginning.

With CertifiGroup, design assistance is a quick and cost-effective process. Catching potential problems in the design phase can save you tens of thousands of dollars and help avoid time-to-market delays. Incorrect Use of "Certified" Components

Do you understand that "Certified" components can easily be used incorrectly? Do you know the difference between a UL and a "UR" mark (both UL certifications)? Does your testing lab accept components marked with only an international certification? Which ones? Did you know that the "CE" mark is not a certification, but only a manufacturer's assurance that they have designed and tested the product themselves? These are questions that need to be answered in the design phase and if answered correctly will prevent delays and test failures in the Testing Lab. Let the experts at CertifiGroup assist you in this process. Rates & Categories

Our engineering rates can be hourly or daily, and we make sure you get the most benefit possible. After the design phase, we will be ready to assist in evaluation and testing if needed. Design assistance is available in many categories, especially EMC, US and Canadian (UL / CSA) certification, IP ingress protection, CE marking for Europe, gas and pressure as well as many others.
