Standards & Test Plan Support

Choosing the right IEC, EN or SANS standard and defining a complete test plan can prevent unnecessary testing and weak regulatory submissions.

Product development teams, manufacturers and importers planning compliance testing can benefit from scope validation before committing samples or laboratory fees.

How We Help

We coordinate independent testing and review evidence against the requirements of the intended approval.

Requirements & Guidance

Check these details before starting. Exact requirements depend on the product, business model and application route.

Documents Key Checks Common Risks

Typical supporting information includes:

  • Technical product specifications and diagrams
  • Intended markets, features and model families
  • Existing reports and planned design changes

Confirm these points and avoid common pitfalls:

  • Check standard edition and national deviations
  • Identify exclusions and justified test applicability
  • Clarify which variants need test coverage

Issues worth addressing early:

  • Testing against the wrong standard edition
  • Omitting a necessary operating mode
  • Paying for tests that do not support the application

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about standards & test plan support.

Is this a laboratory test?
No. This service establishes or reviews the plan for tests carried out by independent laboratories.
Can one plan cover several models?
Possibly, where model differences and test coverage are properly justified.
When should a plan be prepared?
Ideally before samples are sent or laboratory work is commissioned.
Does a test plan guarantee approval?
No. It helps align the evidence; the relevant regulator assesses the application.
