What is an EU compliance marketplace?

An EU compliance marketplace is a platform where non-EU manufacturers submit structured compliance requests and receive proposals from vetted EU service providers — including Notified Bodies, Authorized Representatives, Testing Laboratories, Certification Bodies, and Regulatory Consultants. Unlike working with a single consultancy, a marketplace gives you access to multiple providers simultaneously, so you can compare scope, timeline, and pricing before committing. ECP is designed to be fully neutral: we do not provide compliance services ourselves.

Unlike a single consultancy that recommends itself, a marketplace has no conflict of interest — it connects you to multiple providers and lets you compare. ECP does not provide compliance services; we provide access to those who do.

How ECP works

  1. Submit a structured request — describe your device or product category, applicable regulation, target EU markets, and compliance need. Takes approximately 5 minutes.
  2. ECP routes your request — we match it to relevant providers in the network based on designation scope, product category, regulatory expertise, and current availability.
  3. Receive proposals — providers respond directly with their scope, timeline, and pricing. You review, compare, and decide with no obligation.

What is an EU compliance marketplace?

An EU compliance marketplace is a platform where non-EU manufacturers can submit structured compliance requests and receive proposals from vetted EU compliance service providers — including Notified Bodies, Authorized Representatives, Testing Laboratories, Certification Bodies, and Regulatory Consultants. Unlike a single consultancy, a marketplace offers competitive choice without the structural conflict of interest of a provider recommending itself.

What is the difference between ECP and a regulatory consultancy?

A regulatory consultancy sells its own services and naturally recommends its own approach. ECP is a neutral marketplace: we do not provide compliance services ourselves, so our only incentive is to match you with the provider that best fits your specific device, risk class, and timeline. You receive multiple proposals and choose.

Which EU compliance services does ECP cover?

ECP covers five service categories: Notified Bodies (MDR and IVDR conformity assessment), EU Authorized Representatives (EC REP for medical devices, GPSR RP for consumer products), Testing Laboratories (EMC, RED, safety testing), Certification Bodies (ISO 13485, MDSAP, product certification), and Regulatory Consultants (CE strategy, clinical evaluation, QMS implementation).

Is ECP free to use?

Submitting a request on ECP is completely free for applicants. Service providers pay a subscription fee to receive and respond to relevant requests. There is no commission on transactions and no hidden fees for applicants.
