View source for How to rebrand OEM devices?

GPS trackers that are offered by us fall into a category of equipment that is required to follow CE RED (2014/53/EU) regulations. Car-mounted applications must also comply with Regulation No. 661/2009.
Our official policy is to diligently follow these regulations and all our clients are recommended to follow our example in this respect.

Teltonika goes through the required certification processes as an independent manufacturer. Once the devices are safe to market, the devices are offered for sale. At this stage the set of test reports and certificates/type approvals proving the compliance with aforementioned regulations are available. Please contact your sales manager or [mailto:info@teltonika.lt contact us] to find out which rebadging options you have. To properly rebrand a device, Teltonika recommends following a procedure as described below:

* Contact us with a request of Customer Specific Requirements (CRS) form. Fill in the form with a clear statement that you would like to change the trade mark and type to your own. Please also state the company name and HQ address as it will appear in the manufacturer information.
* We will contact the test laboratories to reissue the test reports under the client company name and issue certificates/type approvals under a new manufacturer name to avoid obstacles to rebranded product sales in the EU market.
* When you are provided with the CE RED certificate, please draw up your own Declaration of Conformity and follow the CE RED requirements as listed [[#Manufacturer responsibilities according to Directive 2014/53/EU|below]].
* When you are provided with the type approval, please be prepared to demonstrate it to the customer when required. Your brand label will already be prepared by us according to all pertaining requirements.
* Contact us for test reports if they are required by a national or accredited competent authority. These reports are available at short notice.
