Scope or classification is unclear
The product’s EU route, economic-operator roles or core functionality leave the CRA path open.

FOR LABS, CONSULTANTS & MARKET-ACCESS ADVISERS
Add product-level CRA engineering to your client offering.
ConformVector supports established advisers whose US manufacturing clients sell connected industrial products into the European Union. Start with one anonymized client situation and determine whether a defined engineering assessment would close a real gap.
WHEN TO INVOLVE CONFORMVECTOR
Useful before compliance uncertainty turns into rework.
Evidence exists, but the chain does not
SBOMs, security requirements, test results and lifecycle decisions exist in separate places without product-level reasoning and traceability.
Reporting or support decisions are incomplete
Article 14 ownership, escalation and clocks are not operational, or the security-support commitment does not match expected field life.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES
A defined engineering workstream alongside your existing service.
The starting point is one product family. Responsibilities and client communication are agreed before an introduction or engagement.
YOUR ROLE
Keep the relationship and your specialist scope.
You continue the testing, product-safety, cybersecurity or market-access work your client engaged you to perform.
CONFORMVECTOR
Establish the product-level CRA readiness picture.
ConformVector documents scope and classification reasoning, evidence gaps, Article 14 readiness, support-period issues and a prioritized remediation path.
MANUFACTURER
Provide the facts and own product decisions.
The manufacturer supplies available evidence, confirms assumptions and decides how identified gaps will be closed.
Boundary: ConformVector does not replace accredited testing, certification, notified-body activity or legal advice. Where a conformity-assessment or specialist testing route is needed, that work remains with the appropriate provider.
Three practical ways to work together
Introduced engagement
You identify a suitable case and introduce ConformVector. The manufacturer contracts directly for the defined Product Readiness Assessment.
Parallel scopes
You and ConformVector work with the same client under separate, coordinated scopes. Interfaces, meetings and outputs are agreed before work starts.
Subcontracted support
Where procurement or client preference calls for one lead provider, a subcontracted scope can be considered under a separate written agreement.
Protecting the working relationship
Client introductions, communication responsibilities, use of work products and any follow-on proposals are agreed in advance. Confidential product information is requested only after scope confirmation and, where required, an NDA.
What the first case looks like
The standard starting point is the fixed-scope CRA Product Readiness Assessment for one product family. The output is written for action: documented assumptions, a product-level evidence-gap view and a prioritized 90-day plan.
