I believe this is how every regulatory agency works over the world, they don't do any tests on your products, you only submit documentation related to your development and tests.
They are basically looking for proof that you did required things such as specifications, tests, risks management... They are looking into your development process to estimate if your product is safe or not. But this is only indirect.
Until you actually kill someone, and then, the same agency will send you its investigators and auditors.
- pjc50 10y agoI thought FCC approval required lab testing by an approved lab, while for CE self-certification is acceptable? UL actually do testing, although they're not exactly a regulatory agency.
- seren 10y agoA regulatory agency can ask for certifications, but it is possible that the certification authority is an independent entity (which probably need some sort of approval or audit from the regulatory agency).
