Regulatory Liaison & Strategic Advisory
We provide regulatory liaison and strategic advisory services to help IoT manufacturers, integrators, and importers engage with regulators, certification bodies, and standardization groups. Our team bridges the gap between what regulators want and what manufacturers can achieve, ensuring practical and efficient compliance pathways.
Why Liaison and Strategic Advisory Matters
Compliance is not only about following rules — it’s also about interpreting evolving regulations and finding solutions that fit real-world products. Manufacturers often face complex requirements under the EU RED Directive, EMC, CE marking, FCC, and upcoming cybersecurity laws such as EN 18031 and the EU Delegated Act 2022/30.
We support you at higher levels:
- Engaging with global regulators and Notified Bodies to discuss alternative solutions;
- Representing manufacturers in technical dialogues with standardization groups;
- Advising executives and decision-makers on compliance strategy, market access, and regulatory change;
Our role is not legal representation — but deep technical and regulatory expertise, trusted by labs, authorities, and manufacturers worldwide.
