Will every design require new testing?
Not automatically, but a new design, material, component, age grade or target market may change the applicable scope. The details should be reviewed for each project.
Which markets do you support?
This page focuses on the EU, UK and US. For another market, confirm the applicable requirements with an independent third-party laboratory or the local importing agent, then share the confirmed scope with us.
