Compliance After Design Change Made Simple

Not always, but the risk is significant. Whether a design change triggers re-certification depends on the standard, the nature of the change, and the jurisdiction. For example, FCC and UL both have specific rules about what constitutes a permissible change versus one that voids an existing authorization. Hardware Compliance's AI agents analyze your updated specs against the applicable standards and flag exactly which requirements are affected, so you know precisely where you stand before committing to a full re-test.

You provide Hardware Compliance with your updated product specs and the standards or markets you are targeting. The AI agents compare your new configuration against the regulatory requirements, surface every impacted clause with citations, and regenerate your technical documentation and test plans accordingly. The workflow covers the full re-certification path from requirement discovery through lab-ready documentation.

Hardware Compliance covers a broad set of standards including FCC, CE Marking, FDA 510(k), UL Certification, ISO 9001 and 9100, ISO 26262, FAA, UL 3100, UL 3300, IEC 62368-1, MIL-STD, ASTM, ANSI, RIA, and more. If your design change affects compliance across multiple standards or jurisdictions, Hardware Compliance can analyze all of them within the same workflow.

Traditional compliance consultants charge by the hour and operate sequentially, meaning a design change re-evaluation can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars before you ever reach a testing lab. Hardware Compliance's AI agents complete the same research and documentation work in a fraction of the time. Expert review is still built into the workflow for sign-off, so you get the speed of AI with professional accountability — without the consulting overhead.

Hardware Compliance auto-generates the technical documentation package required for your updated product configuration, including technical files, compliance reports, test plans, and hazard analyses where applicable. All outputs are aligned to the specific standards triggered by your design change and formatted for submission to accredited testing labs.
