Before testing begins
The category is only the first decision
Product construction, intended use, claims, target markets, and available supplier evidence determine what should be reviewed next.
Product pathway
What determines the product pathway?
The product type is only the starting point. Materials, intended users, technical features, claims, sales channels and target markets can change which requirements need review.
- Product identity and intended use
- Materials, components and claims
- Target countries and sales channels
Testing and documents
How should testing and documentation be planned?
Testing should be scoped against the product and market before samples are sent. Existing reports, standard editions and laboratory scope also need review before reuse is assumed.
- Applicable standards and test questions
- Existing reports and laboratory scope
- Technical files, labels and declarations
Supplier evidence
What supplier evidence should be prepared?
A structured supplier request can reduce missing evidence later. The exact list depends on product construction, components, materials and the compliance pathway being assessed.
- Bills of materials and specifications
- Component reports and declarations
- Factory, material and packaging evidence

Common questions
Choosing the right product pathway
My product fits more than one category. Where should I start?
Choose the closest category or request a roadmap review. Overlapping electrical, chemical, packaging, safety and retailer considerations can then be scoped together.
Can ConforIQ review a category that is not listed?
Yes. The directory highlights common enquiries, but the assessment starts with the actual product, materials, intended use, claims and target markets.
What should I prepare for the first conversation?
Prepare a product description, bill of materials if available, target markets, intended launch timing and any existing reports or supplier declarations.
Your next step
Start with the product, market and evidence already available
A focused review can help identify which questions, testing considerations and documentation gaps should be addressed next.
