Certification & Manufacturer Research Assistant

I’m finalising a new consumer product and need a sharp, organised researcher to keep things moving. Your focus will be two-fold:

1. Certification outreach
• Identify reputable labs that handle safety certifications.
• Start a brief dialogue with each lab, gather their testing procedures, timelines and any up-front requirements that apply to my product.
• Log each contact, response and key requirement in a shared spreadsheet for easy comparison.

2. Manufacturing sourcing
• Contact suitable factories on Alibaba, confirm which individual parts of the product they can produce, and verify minimum order quantity, tooling needs and lead times.
• Keep communication threads tidy, flag promising suppliers, and summarise findings so I can decide who to engage next.

I’ll provide the product overview, the exact questions to ask, and an email template to speed things up. You just need reliable internet, clear written English, and the persistence to chase answers without being pushy.

Regular updates are essential—daily summaries of who you contacted, what you learned and next steps. If you’re comfortable navigating certification jargon and Alibaba chats, let’s get started.
