The challenges of certification

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

What is certification and who is responsible for it?

What is self-certification?

What input data is 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 should be anticipated from the outset of the design phase. A single product will have to comply with several standards, depending on where it is marketed, the technological choices made 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 goes smoothly.
