The bottleneck is testing, not paperwork
Laboratory testing takes one to two months, and if the product fails, new samples must be sent for a second round.
The audit report from the inspection body and the test report from the laboratory are submitted together. TISI then takes about 15 days to review them.
That is why we put the effort into model grouping and into checking existing test reports at the very start. If your IEC reports can be used, you skip this bottleneck entirely.
