We support clients seeking to obtain the most relevant certifications for their systems, products, or operational environments. Our role is to prepare, structure, and guide your certification journey—not to perform certification activities ourselves. In cases where certification follows a self-assessment pathway—such as CE Marking—we are fully capable of planning, executing, and documenting the required steps. For more details please refer to our CE Marking Expertise.

Achieving certification is not simply about preparing documents for review. It is a structured exercise in aligning processes, controls, and technical design with formally recognised standards. Whether the goal is regulatory acceptance, client qualification, international expansion, or investor assurance—certification represents a milestone in system maturity.

Our Approach

Certification support can be delivered as part of a full product lifecycle engagement or as a focused, stand-alone activity. The starting point for certification support is clarity. You let us know which certification you are aiming to obtain, and we assess whether we have the in-house knowledge and capability to assist you meaningfully. Once we confirm our alignment with the certification scope, we propose the specific level and extent of support we can offer.

That support often includes preparing documentation, analysing your system architecture and function definitions, and identifying where risk assessments are needed. Working closely with your discipline-specific subject matter experts, we define a structured path to certification readiness. This includes reviewing functional groupings, assigning hazard categories or safety integrity levels, and collaborating to define mitigation strategies.

The outcome is not just paperwork. It is a systems integrated model of certification readiness, built collaboratively, technically justified, and aligned with the practical operation of your product or system. To support this, we rely on Safexpert by IBF Solutions. This is a class-leading software suite developed for structuring and managing certification workflows. It enables us to trace safety functions, manage risk assessments, and document conformity in a transparent, standardised way. Using Safexpert, we can efficiently align your system architecture with certification expectations and streamline the preparation process.

Our Focus

We work at the interface of engineering and compliance—structuring your design, development, and operational workflows so that certification requirements are met by design. This includes:

• Translating certification standards into system-level requirements

• Defining and embedding traceability across documentation and processes

• Mapping evidence pathways for auditors and certification bodies

• Coordinating readiness efforts across engineering, operations, and suppliers

• Advising on sequencing, timing, and dependencies of certification within your project lifecycle

By bringing structure and foresight to certification planning, we reduce the risk of rework, audit failure, or late-stage nonconformities.

Certification as a
Forward-Looking Asset

We view certification not as an administrative burden but as a strategic enabler. Many of our clients pursue multiple certifications in parallel—across quality, environmental, and safety domains. Through a systems approach, we ensure these do not become overlapping silos but are aligned into a unified compliance model that shares evidence, procedures, and monitoring frameworks. We do not chase badges—we help you build systems that deserve them.

Integrated Support
through Expert Networks

Where highly specialised input is required—such as test planning for radio equipment, third-party verification for environmental standards, or validation of functional safety levels—we draw on close partnerships with accredited laboratories, notified bodies, and independent assessors. We maintain responsibility for the systems and integration logic while our partners address the domain-specific depth.

This combined structure ensures that your preparation for certification is technically sound, auditable, and aligned with the expectations of the authorities or markets you aim to operate in.
