Requesting product documentation
How to describe the product, market, standard, and document scope needed for a compliance review.
A certificate or test report is useful only when its scope matches the product and decision being reviewed. The document title alone is not enough.
Identify the exact product
Provide the product, model, material, supplier reference, and intended customization when known. Documents for a similar product or an earlier version may not apply.
State the destination market and use
Requirements can vary by country, product category, material, and intended use. Explain where and how the product will be used, including food contact, electrical, child-use, labeling, or environmental requirements that may affect the review.
Ask for document scope
- Issuing organization or laboratory.
- Covered product, material, or facility.
- Standard or regulation referenced.
- Issue date, version, and expiration date when applicable.
- Any exclusions or conditions of use.
Keep confirmation project-specific
Uploading or displaying a document does not establish that it applies to every product or market. Include the request in the inquiry so availability and scope can be reviewed for the specific project.
