Compliance data online

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 10, 2002

TUV Product Service has redeveloped its website.

TUV Product Service has redeveloped its website to give designers, manufacturers and operators in the consumer, telecommunications, defence, industrial machinery, IT, leisure and health, marine, aerospace, public services, smartcard, and transportation sectors easy access to information and services helping them to sell their products in world markets.

New features on the site include an international compliance management section giving country-specific information on the local market, regulatory regimes and requirements, and routes to compliance.

France, Spain, US, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore and Australia are among the countries currently featured.

Updated regularly to include new information and more countries, this section is an essential reference for any manufacturer developing a new product or market.

Available online are no-obligation quotation and ordering facilities for a 48-hour service which gives manufacturers confidence that they can apply CE marking to their products, as well as access to a free compliance consultancy service.

The site also contains UKAS accreditation schedules, and a recently revised library of downloadable publications on compliance issues and the company's services.

Industry-specific buttons simplify the search, and ensure the relevance of information offered.

Online registration brings electronic notification of updates, as well privileged access to resource information covering EMC, RF, telecomms and safety.

Recently updated topics include: RADHAZ, the R and TTE Directive, UK meter approvals, SAR testing, and fast-response FCC compliance.

The TUV Product Service Web site can be found at www.tuvps.co.uk For telecommunications manufacturers, BABT's website (www.babt.com) has also recently been improved to bring together on a single page facilities for requesting certification and/or regulatory work.

This simplified request procedure evokes an automated response which provides information on all relevant documents.
