DE EN (ACTIVE) Expertise (active) Company People Career Contact We bring your products to the market. Product Compliance. Never before have companies been able to sell their products in so many foreign markets as today. This opportunity holds great potential, but is also associated with obligations and major risks. Technical barriers to trade pose a particular challenge, since there is a multitude of different international directives, systems and requirements and there is mostly no uniform procedure for the technical approval of products. Non-compliance with these requirements can have considerable consequences. We support you in mastering these challenges and successfully marketing your products internationally. What we do. We advise and accompany you in obtaining and ensuring the marketability and importability of your products in international markets. Our team of experts supports you throughout the entire product lifecycle as required: During product development, we take care of research, identification, preparation and monitoring of worldwide legal requirements for technical barriers to trade. We monitor the existing requirements as well as draft laws and planned changes. In the next step, we carry out an analysis and evaluation of the legal requirements with regard to relevance, technical implementation and feasibility. Once the requirements for a product have been worked out, we provide continuous support in ensuring technical conformity and general import capability through process-oriented implementation within existing corporate structures. Our network, market knowledge and communication with the international import markets guarantee security of supply even after market entry and ongoing support of legally compliant import of your products.
