How it works
From your enquiry to a registered certificate
Fifty-eight seconds: the five steps, the document each one produces, and how long each takes.
The people on your file
Meet the teamYou will know the person who handles your certificate.
One specialist owns your file from the first email to the registered certificate. Every one of them has recorded a briefing on their field.
What we do
Services
Four stages, one contract. Most clients start at pre-compliance and never touch a regulator directly.
- 01
Pre-compliance
Route assessment before you spend: certificate type, timeline, document list and a clear conclusion.
- 02
Product testing
Testing at accredited laboratories, with the report written to the standard the target market accepts.
- 03
Product certification
Certificates and declarations of conformity, issued and registered by the competent authority.
- 04
International approval
Certification of conformity and inspection by country across the Gulf, Eurasia, Brazil and Europe.
Why WWBridge
Certification handled the way you would handle it yourself
16 years of doing this means we already know where each route stalls, so the project does not discover it for you.
Registered documents
Certificates and declarations issued by accredited bodies and entered in the official register, where customs can look them up.
One contract
Route assessment, testing, certification and local representation under one scope and one timeline.
Measured by the document
The engagement ends when the certificate is issued and registered, whatever the hours took.
Route fixed before testing
Scheme, standard and laboratory are settled before a sample is tested, which is where most re-testing starts.
One named specialist
One person owns your file from the first email to the registered certificate.
Send the description, get the plan
A technical description is enough for us to scope the route. Every step after that is ours.

From the blog
Certification, explained
TR CU 018/2011: What the Vehicle Regulation Governs
Scope across categories M, N and O, chassis and safety components; the requirements it sets; and who in the supply chain it binds.
Which Products Fall Under TR CU 018
Categories M, N and O, chassis, and safety-related components. Plus what modification triggers, and the three vehicle types excluded outright.
Our partners
Accredited bodies we work with
These relationships are why a WWBridge certificate is accepted at the border rather than argued over.
Client feedback
What clients say about the way the work runs
Certification projects are judged on two things: whether the route was right the first time, and whether anyone told you the truth about the timeline.
We had been quoted a "CE certificate" by two other agencies. WWBridge explained that our product was self-declared, showed us what the technical file actually had to contain, and we signed the declaration ourselves. It cost a fraction of the quotes we were holding.
Export managerIndustrial valve manufacturer, Italy The useful part was being told, in week one, that the registration would take five months and not the six weeks we had planned around. We moved the launch instead of discovering the problem in month four.
Regulatory affairs leadCosmetics producer, South Korea One specialist ran it from the first email to the certificate. We never had to re-explain the product, and when the laboratory queried the pressure calculation it was answered without us being copied in.
Head of qualityPressure equipment maker, Germany Fast, and they answered on weekends when our schedule slipped. That mattered more than the price.
Managing directorLED lighting manufacturer, China Our first shipment was held because the importer on the certificate was not the one clearing customs. They fixed it in four days and then explained why it happens, which is the part nobody had bothered with before.
Supply chain managerHousehold appliance brand, Turkey They told us the enclosure marking on our drawings would not pass before we sent a single sample. We would have paid for that testing twice.
Technical directorExplosion-proof equipment, India We are eleven people. I expected to be the smallest account they had and to be treated like it. That is not what happened, and the EN 71 file they built for us is better documented than anything we had produced ourselves.
OwnerToy manufacturer, Poland Third project with them now. The halal side is the part we understand least and worry about most, and it has not been a problem once.
Export directorFood ingredients producer, Brazil We changed agencies mid-project, which is never comfortable. They read the file, told us honestly which of the previous test reports were still usable, and did not restart the parts that did not need restarting.
Product managerIoT module vendor, Taiwan We have no legal entity in the Union and did not want one. They hold the certificate as our representative, so when we changed distributor last year nothing had to be reissued.
Commercial directorTextile manufacturer, Portugal
Frequently asked questions
What does WWBridge do?
WWBridge arranges product certification and market approvals for manufacturers and importers. It determines which scheme applies to a product in a given market, plans and books accredited testing, prepares the technical file and the application, and acts as the local applicant or representative where a scheme requires one. The certificates themselves are issued by the accredited bodies and authorities each scheme names, never by WWBridge.
Where does WWBridge operate?
The company is registered in Dubai and works from there with clients on every continent. Projects have covered 40+ countries: the Gulf states, the European Union and the United Kingdom, the Eurasian Economic Union, Brazil, the United States and Canada, and further markets in Asia and Africa. This site is published in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Italian, and enquiries are handled in writing in each of them.
