A signed test report is not the whole story
Sentinel Compliance Specialists takes electrical and electronic products through safety, EMC and radio compliance, from the first standards review to the mark on the label, and checks that the evidence behind it holds up.

Why N/A? Product has a motor. Query the lab.

Services by market
One product, three markets, one compliance plan
01RCMEach market has its own rules, marks and paperwork. We plan them together so that one set of tests and documents does as much work as possible. We also manage Bluetooth SIG qualification and listing, which is required in every market.
How we review
The laboratory can only test what it is told about
When a laboratory is not given enough information about how a product works or how it will be used, a test can be applied incorrectly or evidence can be missing, even in a report from a recognised laboratory.
Reviewed in detail against your product and its specification, checking that each relevant aspect of the product has been properly tested.
We go further and check the report against the standard line by line.
The gaps are found by us, before a regulator or retailer finds them.
Built on hands-on engineering experience
Our work is led by an electronic engineer with 28 years in electrical product design and 15 years in product compliance. We read schematics and test reports, not just checklists, so problems are found before they become failed tests.
We act for you, not for the laboratory or the certifier, and your designs and documents stay confidential.
Examples of products we work with
- Battery chargers and power supplies
- Inverters and power conversion equipment
- Lithium batteries and battery-powered products
- Products containing button or coin cell batteries
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless devices
- Automotive electrical parts and accessories
- Household and commercial mains-powered equipment
These are examples, not limits. We take on compliance projects for any electrical or electronic product. Send an enquiry
How a project runs
From first review to the mark on the label
Review
We review your product, existing test reports and target markets, then confirm the applicable standards and compliance pathway.
Test
We coordinate testing with accredited laboratories, reuse existing reports where they are accepted, and arrange only the top-up testing that is needed.
Certify
We prepare the technical documentation and manage the certification or declaration with the relevant certifier or authority.
Register and label
We complete registrations, confirm the markings and labelling, and hand over a compliance file you can show to regulators and retailers.
