The AI Powered Compliance Gate Alternative

Hardware Compliance replaces the traditional consulting model — where human consultants manually research standards and draft documents — with AI agents that do the same work in a fraction of the time. Instead of waiting weeks for a consultant to deliver a requirements list, Hardware Compliance surfaces every applicable standard with full citations in minutes. The platform also auto-generates technical documentation, matches you with accredited labs, and tracks your certification progress, creating an end-to-end workflow that traditional consulting firms cannot match for speed or transparency.

Hardware Compliance covers a broad range of standards including FCC, CE marking, FDA 510(k), UL Certification, UL 3100, UL 3300, ISO 9001, ISO 9100, ISO 26262, FAA, IEC 62368-1, MIL-STD, ASTM, ANSI, RIA, and more. The platform supports requirements across multiple jurisdictions including the US, EU, and UK, making it a comprehensive alternative for hardware teams that need multi-standard and multi-market coverage.

Hardware Compliance is built to compress the compliance timeline from months — which is typical with traditional consulting engagements — down to weeks. AI agents handle the research and documentation phases that normally consume the most calendar time, so your team reaches the lab testing phase faster. The exact timeline depends on your product type and the standards required, but the platform is designed to eliminate the manual bottlenecks that make consulting-led compliance so slow.

Hardware Compliance does not replace accredited testing labs — it prepares you for them and connects you to the right one. The platform identifies every applicable requirement, generates your technical documentation and test plans, and then matches your product with the right NRTL or accredited lab based on your product type, standards, and geography. Lab testing and final certification are still performed by the accredited lab, but Hardware Compliance makes sure you arrive fully prepared and matched to the right partner.

Hardware Compliance was founded by Anika Patel, formerly of Intertek and Agility Robotics; Marcus Chen, formerly of Google DeepMind and Palantir; and Sofia Reyes, formerly of UL Solutions and Framework Computer. The founding team combines deep hardware compliance domain expertise with advanced AI engineering experience, which is reflected in the platform's ability to reason across complex regulatory standards and generate product-specific compliance outputs that are grounded in the actual text of the applicable standards.
