For brand owners

Your brand makes you the manufacturer

Someone else builds the product, but it is sold under your name. That makes you the manufacturer, and the evidence has to sit with you.

Take control of the evidence

Someone else holds your evidence

The evidence may be issued in your supplier's name, but it has to be in your possession and cover the variant you sell.

Responsibility follows the trademark

Whoever sells under their own name or trademark is the manufacturer. The responsibility cannot be passed back to the supplier.

  1. 01

    Establish the role

    Putting your brand on a finished product makes you the manufacturer, even if you neither designed nor built it.

  2. 02

    Establish the requirements

    Determine which legal acts and harmonised standards apply to the product as you sell it.

  3. 03

    Secure the evidence

    Obtain the technical file, test reports and certificates from the supplier, and check that they cover your variant.

  4. 04

    Mark and declare

    Put your name and contact address on the product, sign the EU declaration and affix the CE marking.

  5. 05

    Retain control

    Track design changes, standard editions and supplier changes, and keep the evidence available for ten years.

A technical file you own

Verca builds the product's technical file in your structure. The evidence stays with you even when the factory changes.

  • A technical file in your own structure, independent of the supplier
  • Every supplier document connected to your variant and requirements
  • Evidence complete and searchable for ten years after market entry

Built for own-brand products

Supplier evidence, technical file, requirements, chemical data and change monitoring, all held by you. Change factory and the evidence stays.

Explore

Your own technical file

Verca structures, you decide
