AI agent for electrical engineers
Hardware Compliance Pre-Check Agent
A design checked against certification requirements before it goes to the test house
What it does
Safety and emissions certification is costly, and failing means a redesign and a retest. Before submission this agent reviews the design against the applicable standard's checklist: creepage and clearance distances, protective grounding, fusing, labeling, emissions measures like filtering and shielding, and required documentation. It checks each item against the schematic, layout notes and the standard's requirement. It also checks the certificates of bought-in modules, because the system approval depends on them. Where an item is missing or marginal, it describes the gap and a typical remedy. After design fixes it rereads the affected areas. It builds the checklist and the document pack the test house will ask for. You approve submission for testing. Edge case: a module whose certificate has lapsed is flagged even if the design meets the standard.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Product nearing certification
- Load the applicable standards checklist
- Check the design against each requirement
- Is every item met or justified?If not: describe each gap and a typical remedy, then recheck after fixes. Back to step 3.
- Confirm component certificates are current
- Assemble the compliance document pack
- Engineer approves submission for testingThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Compliance pack ready for the test house
How it decides
It marks the design ready only when every checklist item is met or has an accepted justification, and flags lapsed component certificates.
- Flag marginal spacing and grounding as risks
- Require current certificates for relied-upon components
- Accept a justification only when documented
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Applicable standards
- Checklist items and margins
- Document pack contents
- Markets or regions targeted
What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Submitting the product for certification
Hard limits
- Does not replace formal certification testing
- Flags, does not approve compliance itself
It stops when
- Done: checklist met and pack assembled
- Stop: the applicable standard is not identified
