Boost Your Chances of First-Time Certification Success!
Custom guidance for optical and photonic product certification in medical and industrial markets.
Launching a product with optical components is not only about innovation — it’s about proving safety, reliability, and compliance with strict international standards.
The reality: most companies fail certification at their first attempt.
Every failure means costly redesigns, delays of several months, and missed market opportunities.
INO helps you avoid these pitfalls and achieve certification the first time.
The complexity of technical standards and the lack of regulatory expertise make the certification process challenging.
Whether for start-ups, SMEs, or large enterprises, INO provides support that strengthens your chances of success and accelerates your timelines. Our proven approach gives you a competitive advantage.

What is optical product certification?
It is the process of proving that a product with optical components (lasers, LEDs, sensors, etc.) meets safety, electromagnetic, and regulatory standards required for sale in target markets.
Why do most companies fail certification on the first try?
Because compliance is complex: EMC, electrical safety, optical safety, and regulatory dossiers must all align. Small oversights in design or documentation cause test failures.
What standards apply to medical devices with lasers or LEDs?
Examples include IEC 60825 for laser safety, IEC 60601 for medical electrical equipment, EMC regulations, and CE/UL/CSA marks depending on the region.
How can start-ups improve their first-time certification success?
By involving compliance experts early in product design. This prevents redesigns and increases the likelihood of success.
What’s the difference between CE marking, UL, and CSA certifications?
CE: Required for European markets.
UL: A North American certification body (commonly accepted in the U.S.).
CSA: Canadian Standards Association certification for Canada.
With INO, your innovation doesn’t stall at certification, it launches successfully.
