Product Safety Engineering

Since 2000, we design and implement Product Safety Engineering Services for the manufacturing or revamping of equipment, machines, plants and products:

• safe and responsive to international standards

• easy and more secure to interact

• easy to maintain

There are seven process steps:

1. identification of the binding legislation in the country of destination

2. analysis of specific requirements

3. identification, if necessary, of a market supervisor third-party Organism

4. risk assessment to ensure compliance with the mandatory applicable standards

5. drawing up of binding documentation to Certify conformity

6. assistance during tests to be performed in Italy and in other countries

7. auditing activities in Italy and in other countries

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

• South Africa
