Regulatory Compliance Services for Mechanical Engineering

Environmentally Sound Limited is a specialist mechanical engineering consultancy offering advanced regulatory compliance services to help companies design, develop, and certify products to meet strict engineering standards and legal requirements.

Founded by Paul Schmitz - a mechanical engineer with 29 years of experience in design, development, testing, and verification & validation—our firm fills a critical gap in the market: translating real-world test data into actionable engineering insight to ensure true compliance.

Why Regulatory Compliance Matters in Engineering

Regulatory compliance is essential for product approval, safety, and performance. Without proper planning and engineering validation, companies risk delays, redesigns, and even market rejection. Our compliance consulting ensures that your mechanical systems not only meet legal standards but are built on sound engineering principles from the start.

Whether you're seeking product compliance for CE marking, UKCA certification, or meeting ISO, BS, EN, IEC, MIL-STD-810, or RTCA/DO-160 standards, we help you navigate complex requirements with precision.

Our Engineering Compliance Services

• Design for Regulatory Compliance: Integration of compliance standards (e.g., Machinery Directive, ISO, BS, IEC, MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160) into your product design from day one.
• Risk and Safety Assessments: HAZOP, FMEA, and mechanical risk analysis to reduce hazards and support documentation.
• Testing, Verification & Validation: We conduct and interpret mechanical tests aligned with physics-based theory to verify engineering performance and ensure regulatory acceptance.
• Product Compliance Documentation: We prepare the technical files, Declarations of Conformity, and validation records needed for CE, UKCA, or other certifications.
• Remediation & Lifecycle Support: Already facing non-compliance? We help identify root causes and implement fast, cost-effective solutions.

Trusted Engineering Compliance Expertise

Unlike generic compliance consultants, we are mechanical engineers first. Our background in product development, R&D, and verification testing gives us the insight to solve complex challenges where design and testing intersect. That’s what sets our regulatory compliance service apart.

Noise & Vibration Compliance – Our Differentiator

Where compliance issues are driven by vibration or structure-borne noise, we diagnose root causes and design-out the problem. Typical actions include modal refinement, isolation and damping strategies, order-based re-tuning, and structural detail improvements — so products meet ISO/IEC, MIL-STD-810, DO-160, and BS/EN criteria without brute-force over-design.

• Structure-borne noise mitigation: Identify dominant paths and implement isolation/control to achieve pass criteria.

• Vibration compliance: API/ISO acceptance, fatigue risk reduction, and resonance avoidance for reliable sign-off.

• Verification evidence: Test plans, data acquisition, acceptance reports, and traceable validation records.

Global Reach, Engineering Precision

Based in the UK and working with clients worldwide, we support organisations across aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, energy, and beyond. If your product depends on structural integrity, system safety, or mechanical performance - we’ll help you bring it to market, certified and compliant.
