Built for the assessment side of a submission.

Manufacturers prepare structured regulatory data on CertHub. You engage either by running reviews inside CertHub, or by receiving a digital transmission into your own system. Human judgment stays yours.

Why data-driven assessment

Conformity assessment still runs on files.
It needs a data-driven framework.

The sources are public. The direction is clear. CertHub connects manufacturers and Notified Bodies on that path — and we do the work with you.

01

CAP is still PDF and Excel

The Commission’s Horizon Health 2025 call states conformity assessment still relies on continuous exchange of complex technical documentation as PDF or Excel. Digitalisation means moving from document to data-driven processes — and we build that path with you, not around you.

02

Incomplete submissions burn capacity

Team-NB surveys show incomplete submissions remain common: in October 2025, only 14 of 51 MDR-designated Notified Bodies reported that more than half of submissions were complete before content review. That is public industry data — we use it openly when we design intake with partner bodies.

03

DIGICAP sets the EU direction

DIGICAP (CORDIS 101288338), coordinated by TEAM-NB, runs 2026–2029 toward an open framework with structured machine-readable data. CertHub is not a consortium beneficiary. We cite the project because the direction is public — and we already build manufacturer-side structured data and NB transmission with partners who want to move with it.

04

Digital TD is on the legal agenda

The Commission has proposed (COM(2025) 1023) that manufacturers may draw up technical documentation in digital form, including structured machine-readable formats, agreed with the Notified Body. That is a proposal, not yet adopted law — we say so plainly, and we prepare the exchange with you before it becomes mandatory.

Why now

Throughput becomes a legal requirement, and a public number.

Hiring alone will not close the gap. Experienced MDR and IVDR reviewers take years to develop. Added capacity has to come from reviewer leverage.

01

Binding timelines and public throughput

From 25 February 2027, EU 2026/977 sets binding maximum timelines per assessment phase. From 2028, annual timeline and cost reports must be published. Manufacturers will compare bodies on throughput you can no longer hide — we help you meet the clock with them.

02

The bottleneck is finding evidence, not judgment

In CertHub’s process model (anchored to NB interview data, pilot validation ongoing), most reviewer time goes to locating evidence across unstructured ZIP archives. Mapping moves upstream so expert time returns to assessment.

03

The human keeps every decision

AI structures evidence and keeps the audit trail. Findings and conformity decisions stay with your experts. CertHub never takes a conformity decision.

What changes in the case.

Experts are not the bottleneck. Unstructured files, incomplete intake, and manual evidence hunting are. CertHub changes what arrives — and how you review it.

Completeness before formal review

GSPR and Essential Principles mappings are generated from the TechDoc, manufacturer-confirmed, instead of lengthy forms.

Completeness and consistency are checked before an expert opens the case. Gaps are flagged on entry.

How we engage

Connect. Prove. Scale.

Three steps at your pace. Your decision on measured numbers.

01

Connect

Interface and referrals. We route matching manufacturers to you and align on your digital intake format. No cost, no procurement, no committee for the channel step.

02

Prove

Proof of Value on your real cases. Time saved and error reduction measured before any rollout decision. Your checklists, your report formats, your VPC if required.

03

Scale

Configuration and rollout at your pace, expert by expert. Optional Co-Pilot adoption with per-case pricing that scales with volume.

Why not the alternatives

Category depth, not another workflow tool.

Every alternative starts too late. CertHub starts at the manufacturer source.

01

Not generic TIC workflow automation

Digitizes the notified body's process, but intake still begins with unstructured files. CertHub structures documentation in the manufacturer source system before it reaches you.

02

Not a horizontal AI copilot

No MDR or IVDR substance. The limitation appears exactly where conformity assessment gets serious. CertHub ships MedTech-native checklists and GSPR logic.

03

Not a permanent self-build

Internal AI builds succeed far less often than specialized partnerships, and they tie senior reviewers to permanent engineering liability. Prove CertHub on your cases first.

Trust and control

Built for accreditation and oversight.

EU-hosted in Germany (Frankfurt). Tenant isolation. No training on customer data. Your checklists, configurations, and assessment scheme remain your IP. CertHub never takes a conformity decision. ISO/IEC 27001 certification underway. Full posture in the Trust Center.
