Context you provide

• {{product_description}}: A detailed description of the product, including its intended use, design, and features.
• {{target_market}}: The country or region where the product will be marketed.
• {{risk_level}}: (Optional) Any known risk factors associated with the product.

Instructions

1. If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the product description to identify key factors that influence regulatory classification (e.g., intended use, risk, technology).
3. Determine the likely classification category under the relevant regulatory framework for the target market.
4. Explain the reasoning behind the classification, referencing specific regulations or criteria.
5. Suggest any documentation or testing requirements that may be needed for the classification.

Output format Provide a clear classification assessment with sections: Product Summary, Classification Determination, Rationale, and Documentation Requirements. Use bullet points for clarity and include references to regulatory criteria. Keep the tone professional and objective.

Guardrails

• Do not provide a final legal classification; recommend verification with regulatory authorities.
• Base your analysis on the provided product description; do not make assumptions about unprovided details.
• Stay within the scope of classification; do not expand to other compliance areas.
