How we can help

We help interpret EU and UK REACH restrictions for nickel, lead, cadmium, and other regulated substances, and can advise the correct course for testing. Support frequently includes reviewing laboratory reports, checking material and plating specifications, assessing child‑appeal and small‑part risks for children’s lines, and advising on compliant claims, warnings, and GPSR‑aligned documentation.

We also assist you with your textiles in meeting EU and UK textile‑labelling rules alongside wider product‑safety and sustainability requirements. Support includes fibre‑content and labelling reviews, drafting compliant label text for multi‑market sales, and horizon‑scanning for upcoming changes such as the revision of the EU Textile Labelling Regulation and moves towards digital and sustainability‑focused labelling.

We help brands map the correct combination of general product safety, chemical, and where relevant PPE and occupational‑footwear requirements for fashion, children’s, sport and work shoes. Support typically includes structured risk assessments for target users and use environments, review of mechanical and slip‑resistance test reports, chemical‑testing strategies aligned with legal and retailer lists, and detailed checks of labelling, size runs, material declarations and care information so that product communication accurately reflects hazards and safe‑use expectations.

With tailored, end‑to‑end solutions, CERT helps you launch personal accessories, that are safe, compliant, and ready for market – backed by clear documentation and expert support documentation.
