The Faster Kite Compliance Alternative for Hardware Teams

Hardware Compliance goes beyond research databases by handling the full certification workflow end to end. Where Kite surfaces regulatory information, Hardware Compliance also auto-generates technical documentation, test plans, and hazard analyses, and matches your product with an accredited testing lab. Expert reviewers sign off on all AI-generated outputs before lab submission, giving hardware teams both speed and accountability throughout the certification process.

Hardware Compliance covers a broad range of standards including FCC, CE Marking, FDA 510(k), UL Certification, ISO 9001, ISO 9100, ISO 26262, FAA, UL 3100, UL 3300, IEC 62368-1, MIL-STD, ASTM, ANSI, and RIA, among others. The platform is designed to handle multi-standard scenarios across US, EU, UK, and other jurisdictions simultaneously, making it well-suited for hardware products that require certification in multiple markets.

Traditional compliance consulting typically takes months from initial research through documentation to lab submission. Hardware Compliance's AI-agent-driven workflow is designed to complete that same process in weeks. The time reduction comes from automating regulatory research, documentation drafting, and lab matching — stages that normally require back-and-forth with consultants over extended periods.

Hardware Compliance is built for physical hardware products including robotics and autonomous platforms, consumer and industrial electronics, IoT devices, drones, medical devices, automotive electronics, and aerospace and defense hardware. The platform's standard coverage and AI research capabilities are designed to handle the regulatory complexity specific to each of these product categories.

Hardware Compliance automates the most time-intensive and expensive parts of compliance consulting — regulatory research, documentation drafting, and lab matching. Industry professionals are built into the platform to review and sign off on AI-generated outputs before lab submission. For most hardware teams, this replaces the need to engage external consulting firms for the core certification workflow, while retaining human expert accountability at critical checkpoints.
