Working on our first hardware startup product - desktop evaporative air-cooler. Now we're moving from prototype to the first batch. Trying to figure out what are the indispensable safety requirements applied to our product ( evaporative air-cooler), which we should follow while finishing the design. Trying to create a list of obligatory certificates our product must have to enter USA, Canada, Australia, Middle East markets.
Hi,
There is a very easy and direct way of getting your answer. Order a similar product off of Amazon or from another vendor and check out all the certifications that are listed on the product. You can that for every country that you listed. Or if you can find specs online this works also.
Alternatively, you can call the manufacturer of similar products and ask for a product fact sheet.
I have done both of these for fire extinguishers and medical products.
This a an intuitive answer, but I don't want to give you alot of information that is irrelevant or unreliable.
I hope this helps.
All upvotes are welcome.
Best of luck,
Michael
