Preliminary Design Review
A clause-by-clause assessment and construction-based evaluation of your design (schematics, BOM, enclosure plans, basic mechanical/thermal provisions) against the requirements of IEC 62368-1, 61010-1, 60335-1, UL/CSA deviations, and relevant enclosure/IP standards.
This identifies non-conformities before testing. Best for: design reviews prior to prototype build or lab engagement.
Scope
Review schematics, drawings, block diagrams, and construction details against safety requirements in applicable standards.
Identify non-conformities related to:
Findings report outlining the results of our evaluation to your product(s) against standard requirements. Additionally, a summary of non-conformities with referenced clause numbers
Flag non-compliant safety-critical design elements “non-conformities” or “borderline risk” flags (e.g. clearance/creepage, insulation class issues, enclosure or IP mismatch, component compliance concerns)
Enclosure, IP, and environmental suitability check (IEC 60529, UL 50/50E)
Enclosure and environmental suitability check (incl. IP/UL-50/50E, if relevant)
Marking & labeling requirements list
Review schematics, drawings, block diagrams, and construction details against safety requirements in applicable IEC, UL, CSA, and EN standards.
Identify non-conformities related to:
Insulation systems
Protective bonding
Creepage and clearance values
Overcurrent and thermal protection
Mechanical and enclosure requirements
Energy sources and access levels (per IEC/EN categories)
• Assess alignment between IEC and UL/CSA construction rules where differences may affect testing outcomes.
