For Chinese robotics manufacturers and OEMs

European market entry starts before the first pilot.

As a bilateral operating layer, TCD helps each manufacturer or OEM assess European readiness, close evidence gaps and prepare a safe, credible and commercially relevant controlled pilot in Spain.

TCD is not a certification body. We coordinate readiness work with qualified technical, regulatory, cybersecurity, legal and insurance specialists when required.

European Robotics Readiness Process

A structured path from product evidence to market confidence.

The process asks a different question: not only whether the robot works in China, but whether it can be assessed and piloted in Europe with sufficient evidence, controlled risks and a workable local support model.

  1. 01

    Manufacturer and product pre-screening

    Confirm the manufacturer or OEM, exact product scope, available evidence, support model and commitment to European readiness.

  2. 02

    European documentation and evidence review

    Coordinate a structured review of product, safety, software, cybersecurity, data, support and contractual evidence with relevant specialists.

  3. 03

    Gap closure roadmap

    Turn missing or weak evidence into a clear action plan before a pilot is proposed.

  4. 04

    Controlled European pilot

    Test the product in a defined operational environment with agreed metrics, responsibilities and decision criteria.

  5. 05

    Deployment preparation

    Prepare local market conversations through credible documentary evidence, controlled-pilot results and a workable support and training model.

What we examine

Readiness is broader than CE marking.

The exact review depends on the product, its intended use and the target environment. TCD structures the evidence and coordinates the specialist work needed to make an informed next-step decision.

Product

Scope and safety

Exact model, functions, limits, risk assessment evidence, manuals and maintenance.

Digital

Software and data

Cloud services, remote access, updates, logs, cameras, cybersecurity and data flows.

Operations

Support readiness

Spare parts, training, warranty, incident response and the proposed local service model.

Market

European pilot fit

Target use case, site requirements, buyer expectations and commercial adaptation.

Why work with TCD

Preparation that European buyers and specialists can assess.

The value is not a generic introduction. It is a structured readiness path that makes the product, controlled pilot, deployment, support and training model easier to understand, test and discuss in a European context.

Documentary evidence

A clearer product file

Documentation and gaps organised around the exact model and intended use.

Validation

A credible local pilot

A defined environment, agreed metrics and clear responsibilities before deployment.

Access

A stronger market conversation

Local context, support expectations and commercial learning grounded in evidence.

The outcome

A readiness conclusion, a gap roadmap and a credible next step.

The process may recommend further preparation, a controlled pilot, specialist testing or stopping. Readiness work reduces uncertainty; it does not create an automatic authorisation or guarantee market success.
