Our History

High Tech Design Safety (HTDS) has provided product safety, regulatory compliance, standards evaluations, conformity support, testing, listing, and labeling services since 2000. Our principals have performed SEMI S2 and CE evaluations since 1997 and have applied product safety and conformity requirements to complex equipment and systems since 1987.

HTDS supports projects throughout the United States and around the world. Our experience extends across key technology and manufacturing regions, including Texas, California, Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico, and New England, as well as international markets such as Japan, Italy, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Comprehensive Product Compliance Support

HTDS provides the technical knowledge and practical support manufacturers need to navigate complex product safety and regulatory requirements. Depending on the needs of your project, our team can assist with design-stage consulting, equipment evaluations, testing, nonconformity resolution, certification support, and customized compliance services.

Our goal is to help manufacturers identify requirements, address compliance challenges, and move their equipment toward conformity and market readiness as efficiently as possible.

CE Marking and Product Safety

HTDS provides comprehensive support for CE compliance and CE Marking, including the development of Technical Files and Technical Construction Files. Our team can help identify applicable requirements, evaluate equipment, perform testing, and address nonconformities throughout the compliance process.

For manufacturers requiring multiple certifications or approvals, HTDS can also support UL Listing alongside CE Marking efforts, helping coordinate compliance activities within a more efficient overall process.

Semiconductor Equipment Compliance

HTDS specializes in product safety and regulatory compliance for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Our experience includes SEMI S2 and SEMI S8 evaluations, equipment safety testing, standards interpretation, code interpretation, and conformity support for complex semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

We understand that semiconductor equipment can involve numerous overlapping safety, regulatory, and industry requirements. Our team helps manufacturers understand those requirements and determine practical paths toward compliance.

Additional Standards and Compliance Services

Beyond CE Marking and SEMI evaluations, HTDS provides support for a wide range of product safety and conformity requirements. Services can include NFPA requirements and standards interpretation, quality system development, ergonomic compliance, electrical safety evaluations, and Low Voltage Directive compliance.

Whether support is needed during the initial design stage or after equipment has already been developed, HTDS can provide services tailored to the specific requirements of the product, system, and target market.

Experience From Design Through Conformity

From early-stage design consulting to final evaluation and conformity, HTDS works with manufacturers throughout the product compliance process. Our combination of technical experience, testing capabilities, standards knowledge, and semiconductor industry expertise allows us to provide practical compliance solutions for even the most complex equipment.

For more than two decades, HTDS has helped manufacturers understand requirements, resolve compliance challenges, and prepare their products for markets around the world.
