Applicable regulation in aftermarket
My company is delivering actuators to an aftermarket equipment supplier which sells its products in XYZ. We don't have any requirements from this customer. Initially, our products are intended for home and building markets.
- Which regulation we are supposed to satisfy for this application?
- What is our legal responsibility in case of an accident or injuries of an end-user?

Regarding regulation, you’ll need some background knowledge, since standards, regulations, and practices in North America differ fundamentally from those in markets using the IEC standards. If you are interested in applicable standards, you can check some of the standards for Valve Actuators (e.g. ISO 22153:2020 Electric actuators for industrial valves — General requirements).
Regrading legal responsibility, you should also find legal representatives for both countries of the manufacturing and county of the aftermarket. Answer for accidents or injuries of end-user are main concerns, and besides the legal part, you should have deep analysis in your system, so you are able to recognize all places of potential injuries your product can cause. In this way, you can find places for improvement and level up product safety.
