COMPLIANCE

Understand guidelines.
Recognize impact.
Evidence decisions.

DECOTA connects regulatory requirements, standards, and internal guidelines with specific products, variants, and requirements. This makes it traceable which guidelines are relevant, where deviations exist, and which products may be affected by a change.

STARTING POINT

Regulatory requirements change. Products stay on the market for years.

That is why it is not enough for companies to merely document standards and regulations. What matters is the link to product reality.

Which requirement affects which product. Which function is affected. Which variant was used at which customer. Which assessment has already been made.

DECOTA creates the link between guideline and product.

Rules change faster than manual checking can follow.

New regulations and revised internal guidelines are compared with the company’s own documentation product by product. The comparison ties up specialists for weeks and is already partly outdated by the time it is finished.

01
CHECKING EFFORT

Every change requires comparing source documents, sections, and evidence again. The result lives in spreadsheets, not in a verifiable system.

02
DELAY

Until the check result is available, proposals and approvals continue on an outdated basis. Overlooked requirements lead to change orders, penalties, or exclusion from the procedure.

03
TRACEABILITY

The rationale for a commitment sits with individual specialists. If they leave the company, the reasoning can no longer be evidenced.

1

Machinery Regulation 2027

From January 2027, cybersecurity becomes a safety requirement and software a safety component. Existing compliance mappings no longer apply. The question is how quickly your team identifies the affected products.

2

Changes in the dark

An internal guideline is revised, a standard gains importance. Your product references a dozen guidelines. Which still apply? Manually, the answer takes weeks, and until then everything continues on the old basis.

3

Requirement vs. approval

A customer demands a specific guideline, your product is approved per the previous version. Is that enough? Without an exact text comparison, all that remains is guessing, and guessing can cost orders.

HOW IT WORKS

How the Compliance Module works.

Clarify relevance, compare requirements, flag contradictions.

01
UNDERSTAND.

Clarify relevance.

Which guidelines, standards, and regulations apply to your product at all? DECOTA compares product properties with the scope of each guideline. What remains is a focused checklist.

02
VERIFY.

Check automatically, with evidence.

Every relevant requirement is checked against your documentation. The result is fulfilled, partially fulfilled, or gap, each with the exact passage in guideline and evidence. No room for interpretation, just facts.

03
MATCH.

Master changes.

When a specification changes, DECOTA shows which products and open proposals are linked to it. Everything stays documented with its source reference, regardless of who was on the team at the time.

Frequently asked questions.

What does DECOTA check in the Compliance module?

DECOTA supports matching requirements against the stored standards, your own internal standards, and test criteria. Potential deviations and conflicts are made visible for expert assessment.

Can we take our own company standards into account?

Yes. In addition to standards, you can store your own guidelines as a basis for review. This means the assessment also covers requirements that apply specifically to your company or your products.

How does DECOTA help when standards change?

DECOTA helps you identify affected requirements and relationships. This lets you check specifically which previous assessments or evidence need to be updated.

Does it remain traceable how an assessment was reached?

Requirements, sources, and documented assessments remain linked. This makes it traceable on what basis your team reviewed a requirement.

Does DECOTA automatically confirm that we meet all requirements?

No. DECOTA provides findings and structures the review. The binding assessment and approval are carried out by the responsible experts in your company.
