Electrical product certificate checks for Spain
LIFA checked mismatched certificates in a Spanish electrical-product sourcing project and qualified four alternative suppliers before payment.
- The buyer
- A Madrid, Spain importer of small electrical appliances for retail.
- The product scope
- Electric kettles and toasters; 6 SKUs, 20,000 units.
What needed to change?
A low-priced offer included CE certificates; verification with the notified body showed the certificate numbers belonged to a different company and product.
How LIFA managed the work
We verified all certificate numbers with the issuing bodies.
We ran a factory and registration check on the supplier.
We arranged independent electrical safety testing on samples.
We qualified 4 suppliers with valid, verifiable certificates.
The suspect supplier was rejected before any payment; verified suppliers delivered compliant product; the range launched on schedule with full documentation.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
