Certificates & Reports Verification (CRV)

Sofeast reviews your supplier’s certificates and checks that they’re legitimate in order to make sure no fake documents are used for putting non-compliant and potentially unsafe products on the market.

Do not purchase any regulated products without first ensuring the manufacturer provides you with legitimate and relevant certificates and reports. Otherwise, you might be in trouble down the road if products are found to be unsafe or non-compliant (the importer will typically bear all the liability).

Our team verifies your supplier’s documentation, such as a CE certificate and associated test results, to give you the peace of mind that they’re legitimate documents.

Note: if you are unsure what documents are needed, you need to research that first. (We only provide consulting on this to our regular clients, not to new clients, but we can suggest sources of information.)

Certificates & Reports Verification FAQs

Sofeast’s team reviews your potential supplier’s certificates & test results (for example, certificates that products conform to various safety standards required by your country) in order to verify their legitimacy.

This is all done from our office, based on documents you send to us, without us contacting your supplier.

We follow this checklist when verifying supplier certificates:

Verify those documents on official websites or on the certification body’s website. Note that, in some cases, the certificate/registration issuer doesn’t allow for this type of verification, so we cannot guarantee a result.
Do those registrations and approvals show the same company name & address as the business registration (if you send it to us)?
Look in the full test report and point to red flags, such as:
- Do they mention the right standard and the right device class?
- Do they include all the important tests?
- Is the issuing organization in the list of accredited test labs, or the list of authorized notified bodies?
Do the dates all make sense? For example, a company created last year can’t have certificates in its name with earlier dates.
