Custom research

SCC provides custom research on a growing range of standards, legislation and conformity assessment requirements in world markets. To take full advantage of our custom research service:

• Review our pricing policy.
• Request a custom research quote.

We normally complete requests within three working days after the client agrees to the research quote. We will advise the client when we expect longer timelines, such as when SCC needs to rely on external sources for information (foreign standards bodies, competent authorities, etc.).
