EU Market Access & Certifications

We support international manufacturers in preparing their products for the European market - from identifying the right directives to coordinating laboratory tests and CE documentation. Our focus is on making the certification process clear, efficient, and successful.

With our experience in EU market access and certification, we guide our partners through every step — from documentation to successful CE marking:

Building trust through understanding and precision

Introducing a product into the European market requires more than innovation — it demands a clear understanding of standards, documentation and compliance.
Over the years, we have developed deep insight into the challenges international manufacturers face when entering the EU — from technical documentation and testing coordination to conformity and labeling.

As an independent Austrian organization, we help companies navigate these steps with knowledge, structure and reliable contacts throughout Europe.

Understanding the EU Framework

European market access is defined by directives, regulations and harmonized standards.
Each product type has its own specific pathway — and knowing which rules apply is often the most critical step.

We provide orientation and share practical experience in identifying the right route for compliance, including:

CE marking and the relevant conformity modules (A–H)
REACH and CLP — substance safety, labeling and data requirements
VOC limits for coatings and surface materials
Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and EN 13501-1 classifications
EcoDesign and sector-specific standards

This knowledge helps manufacturers prepare early, reduce uncertainty and align their technical and marketing teams with European expectations.

Documentation & Technical Compliance

A complete documentation structure is essential for any product entering the EU.
We understand the complexity behind creating and maintaining these files — and the common challenges that often appear during preparation or review.

With experience from supporting different industries, we can guide manufacturers on how to structure their documentation correctly and meet formal expectations.
Typical areas we work with include:

Technical Files and Product Dossiers
Declarations of Conformity (DoC) and Performance (DoP)
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and multilingual labeling
PCN / UFI registration and risk assessment reports
Packaging, marking and information requirements

We can also coordinate with trusted partners who specialize in testing and validation to ensure that documentation and results are properly aligned.

Testing, Validation & Certification

Over the years, we have seen where most difficulties arise — especially when translating technical performance into certified proof.

Understanding how EU testing and certification frameworks operate allows us to support manufacturers long before official testing begins. We provide guidance on how to prepare the required data, select suitable laboratories or certification partners, and organize communication efficiently.

Through cooperation with accredited experts and institutions, we can help ensure that testing steps are well-prepared and documentation remains consistent.

Areas in which we have already gained valuable experience include:

Material and durability testing (EN, ISO, ASTM)
Fire and thermal performance assessment
Emission and VOC verification
Technical report alignment for CE documentation

Our goal is to make the process understandable, transparent and structured — so that every technical result contributes effectively to successful EU compliance.

Labeling & Market Readiness

Proper labeling and presentation are just as important as documentation and testing.
Many products fail not because of performance, but because the labeling or user information doesn’t fully comply with EU language or format standards.

Through our experience in coordinating multiple market entries, we know the typical requirements and can help ensure that all product markings are compliant and consistent.

We can provide guidance and support in:

CE and Energy Labels
EcoDesign and recycling symbols
Packaging and language requirements
Import and customs documentation alignment

By addressing these details early, manufacturers avoid costly corrections and can introduce their products to the market more confidently.

From Compliance to Market Access

The final goal of any certification process is real market access.
Once compliance is achieved, we can help connect products with potential partners and distributors in Europe.

Having built relationships across several industries, we can support introductions and coordination for pilot projects or procurement evaluations.

This includes:

Preparing compliance summaries for distributors and customers
Assisting with documentation during tender or procurement processes
Aligning communication between technical and commercial teams

Our focus is on continuity — making sure that every certified product also finds the right market environment to succeed.
