The manufacturers have understood the strategic importance of setting up the certification process ever since the earliest sale stages - thus securing time and cost savings.

During this stage, Faentia Consulting supports the Customer by seeing to the regulatory framework ever since the financial quoting stage and by preparing budgets both for the Product safety Engineering part and for the part relating to the Technical documentation accompanying the product.

During the construction and testing stages, on request by the Customer, we perform Audits in Italy and in other countries for the assessment and verification of the achievement of pre-set safety targets.

Today, Faentia Consulting has provided Customer support during pre- and post-sale phases in:

  • Europe

  • United States
