Independent evaluation of your self-declaration provides a competitive advantage
For many years, the path to European market access for low-voltage electrical/electronic equipment has been self-declaration of conformity. Products must meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU for Europe, or the Electrical Equipment Safety Regulation 2016 for the UK.
Today, however, buyers are more wary of a manufacturer’s self-declaration and often give preference to products that have been independently validated by a third-party.
Intertek’s Attestation of Conformity (AoC) program for the European, Great Britain and Northern Ireland markets provides a trustworthy, independent verification of a self-declaration. Our experts conduct an independent evaluation of the Technical Construction File (TCF) and attest to the essential safety requirements and that the product conforms to the applicable Regulations or Directives.
It’s a complex and rapidly evolving buyer’s market these days. Giving your customers added confidence in the safety, quality and performance of your product over competing brands can make a difference in your product’s success in the marketplace.
