Everything after the stamp.
01 · Documentation readiness
Everything the stamp does not cover.
European readiness is the package that travels with your product, and what a European customer expects to find in it. Operation and maintenance manuals a technician can actually work from. Installation instructions that match the machine as built, not the one on the drawing. A parts list he can source without calling your factory. The inspection schedule. And the sub-assemblies that fell below the certification threshold, so they never got a file of their own. Those are usually the first thing anyone asks about.
No directive lists this, and no notified body tests it, so it tends to surface at the worst possible moment: at handover, with a customer waiting. NEXOS harmonises what you already have to what the European market expects, while the product is still in your factory and a gap is still a document.
- Readiness assessment
- Every gap between your file and a European sign-off, ranked by what blocks it first.
- Documentation
- Manuals, as-built drawings and spare-parts lists made European-ready.
- Factory acceptance
- Witnessed before the container leaves.
- Site acceptance
- Commissioning and sign-off supported on site.
02 · Certification, managed
The stamp, handled, not sold.
PED, ATEX and TPED are public, and a notified body will assess your equipment against them, often through an office in your own country and your own language. That part of European market access is well organised. You do not need us for it, and we do not sell it.
What we can do is carry it for you. A notified body asks questions and requests documents, and each one lands on an engineer who is in the middle of building something else. We take those on. Having worked on the operating side of this equipment, we usually recognise what is being asked for and why, so most of it can be answered from the file rather than from your factory floor. Your team keeps building. The assessment keeps moving.
- Notified-body correspondence
- The questions and document requests that come back during assessment, answered here instead of on your engineers’ desks.
- Document preparation
- What the notified body asks for, produced in the form it expects, so the same request does not come back twice.
- Technical file
- Complete, indexed and consistent, so it holds up the second time someone asks. It stays your file, in your name.
03 · About NEXOS
NEXOS was founded on a gap that kept showing up, and always cost somebody money.
NEXOS is new. The problem is ten years and about thirty stations old.
Ten years on the operating side, the side that starts after everyone has signed. Every handover produced a punch list. Most of it got closed in the weeks after. The rest was marked to follow: the drawings, the missing manual, the file for the assembly nobody had needed to certify. Nothing was refused. It simply had no date on it, and everyone had already moved on to the next project.
Then the first inspection came around, and the paperwork was no longer optional. By that point the unit had been running for years. The drawings could not be reconstructed. The people who had built it had moved on. What had been a small open item at handover was now the thing holding up an inspection, and there was no way back to the source.
That is the sequence NEXOS was built to interrupt. Not by chasing the list afterwards, but by closing it while the equipment is still in the factory and the answers are still in the building.
