Services
One consultant for your compliance, from first map to legal sale.
CertifiOS maps what applies to your product for free. When you want someone to actually get it done, these engagements put one consultant on the whole job: the test plan, the lab, the technical file, the declaration, the labels, and whatever comes up after launch. Tell us about your product and we'll come back with a scope and a fixed price. Nothing is charged until you've agreed both.
Every engagement is delivered by Krono's compliance team, led by founder Pranav K, and built on the same regulatory graph behind the platform. We focus on the markets hardware teams most often sell into: the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia and India.
End-to-end engagements
One consultant owns the whole path, from the first requirement map to a product you can legally sell, and stays accountable when something changes.
Market Launch
One product into one market, handled end to end by one consultant: from working out what applies to a signed declaration and a product you can legally sell.
- Requirement map and conformity route, confirmed against your actual design
- Pre-test design review of schematics, test plan and sample configuration
- An accredited lab selected, quotes compared, and testing coordinated through to final reports

- Labelling, user information and marketplace compliance fields done correctly
- Customs classification for the destination market

Specialist and urgent work
For a problem that's already live, a regulation with its own clock, or a market with its own rules.
Compliance Rescue
Your product is already on sale and something has gone wrong: a suppressed listing, an authority letter, a failed test or a customer audit. We take it from triage to resolution.

- A remediation plan, in the order things need fixing

Not sure where to start?
Get a written assessment first, credited toward any engagement you take on, or describe the situation in your own words.
Compliance Assessment
A compliance engineer reviews your product and what you already have, then tells you what it will take to reach legal sale. The fee is credited in full if you go ahead with an engagement.
- Your product's requirements in up to two markets, checked against the real design
- Every gap in your documentation and test evidence, ranked by what would block sale
- The conformity route, and whether a notified or approved body is needed
- A realistic cost and timeline, plus a fixed quote for the full engagement
Custom Engagement
Your situation doesn't match anything on this page? Describe it in your own words and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help, what it would take, and what it would cost.
- A straight answer on whether this is something we can do well
- A written scope covering exactly what you'd receive
- A fixed price, agreed before any work begins
- A referral elsewhere if someone else is the better fit
Where we fit
What we do, and what we don't
Krono provides expert compliance advice and hands-on project work, built on real engineering experience. We work alongside the bodies that test and certify your product. We don't replace them.
We do
- Work out what applies to your product and the route to legal sale
- Plan your testing and coordinate with accredited labs and notified bodies on your behalf
- Prepare and review your technical file, declarations and submissions
- Advise on fixes, responses to authorities and ongoing obligations
We are not
- A notified body, UK approved body or FCC TCB. We don't issue certificates or conformity decisions.
- An accredited test laboratory. All testing is carried out by independent accredited labs.
- A law firm. Our work is regulatory and engineering advice, not legal advice.
- A guarantee of approval. Authorities, labs, notified bodies and marketplaces make their own decisions, and as the manufacturer you remain legally responsible for your product and sign every declaration.
The full terms for consulting engagements are in our Terms of Service.
How every engagement works
One owner, one fixed price, no surprises.
One consultant, start to finish
The person who scopes your engagement is the person who runs it. You never re-explain your product to someone new halfway through.
A fixed quote before anything starts
Prices on this page are starting points. After a short scoping step you get a written scope and a fixed price, and that number only changes if the scope does.
Third-party fees at cost
Test labs, notified bodies and representatives are paid by you directly. We take no commission from any of them, so our recommendation is never the one that pays us.
Every decision written down
Each requirement and finding names the directive, regulation or standard clause behind it, so your team can check our work rather than take it on trust.
