The challenges of certification

In this guide, you’ll learn about the three stages of certification: identification of standards, pre-certification using tools such as the anechoic chamber, and certification itself.
Many stakeholders are involved in this process, such as your manufacturer, testing laboratories and certifiers (known as notified bodies), and you’ll identify them and understand the role of each. You’ll also find answers to the following questions:

What is certification and who is responsible for it?

What is self-certification?

What input data are required for certification?

What is an anechoic chamber?

What markings should be affixed to a certified product?

What are notified bodies in France?

What documents must the certifier provide?

Certification duration and budget, cybersecurity and legal definitions will also be covered in this document.

A step to be anticipated at the design stage

Although certification takes place at the end of the product development process, it must be anticipated right from the design stage. A single product will have to comply with several standards, depending on where it is marketed, its technological choices and the context in which it is used. Depending on the standards to be applied, the design will be impacted to ensure that it meets them and that certification runs smoothly.
