€60 launch price · locked for life for first 250 founders · EU-sovereign · EU data residency by design
What you actually get
Documentation you can defend — drafted in about an hour, not weeks
- Cited, not invented — every claim traces to a named EU regulation article or to a file from your own engineering data, so you can defend each line to an auditor
- Scored, not trusted — a 0–1 confidence on every section, and anything under 0.95 is held for your review before you sign
- Verifiable by anyone — the signed Declaration carries a QR code to a public verification page, no login required, and the signature is locked at signing
- Current, not frozen — each regulation’s EUR-Lex page is hash-monitored, and your affected documents are flagged the day it is amended
- EU-sovereign, not exported — every model call runs on Mistral in Paris, and your product data never leaves EU-controlled servers
Why Cenitia is different
Three things general-purpose tools cannot do.
Cited, not paraphrased.
Every legal claim in a Cenitia document points to a specific article of EU regulation — CRA Art. 13, RED Art. 3(3)(d), GDPR Art. 32 — drawn from our curated, human-verified corpus of regulation articles, each entry linked to its EUR-Lex source. A regulator can verify each citation in seconds.
Grounded in your engineering data.
Upload your BOM, schematics, datasheets, test reports. Cenitia indexes them privately to your organisation and uses them as primary sources alongside the regulations. Your Declaration says "MAX-3232 module per BOM v3" — not generic boilerplate. The more you upload, the more specific your output becomes.
Locked, verifiable, watched.
Signing locks the document with a short QR-resolvable code. Any auditor can verify authenticity at a public URL without account access. After signing, Cenitia monitors every cited EU regulation upstream — when one amends, you receive a notification listing the exact affected documents.
Under the hood
Triple-Check: three passes before every section reaches you.
Generic chat tools do step one. Cenitia does all three, on every section, every time — and shows you the confidence score per section so nothing ships by accident.
- 1
Structured grounding
The draft is generated against retrieved excerpts from the EU regulations that apply to your product AND your own uploaded files. Every claim is forced to carry a numbered source marker so it can be traced back.
- 2
Chain-of-verification
A second pass audits the draft against the same sources. Unsupported claims are flagged with specific reasons, then rewritten to either cite a source or be marked Requires expert review for your attention.
- 3
Citation reinforcement
Markers are resolved to specific EU articles and customer documents. A confidence score per section is computed from verification verdict, citation density, source coverage, and self-assessment. Anything under 95% is flagged for human review.
From the 8-question product wizard to a signed, downloadable PDF: about an hour, including the time you spend reviewing.
What you actually get for €60/month
A Declaration you can sign and stand behind a year later — drafted in about an hour, not four to eight weeks.
A Declaration of Conformity is a legal statement you put your name to and live with for years. So the only question that matters is whether every line traces to something defensible — the regulation text or your own engineering data — and whether it stays defensible after the law changes. That is what Cenitia produces: cited, confidence-scored, signed, and watched. You keep the same legal responsibility you would keep anyway. You just get there in about an hour instead of weeks, with the receipts attached — and you can reproduce it on demand.
Built on your actual product, not boilerplate
Every claim is checked against verified EU regulation text in our curated corpus and your own engineering files — BOM, schematics, datasheets, test reports — kept in a private per-organisation index; after you sign, the live EUR-Lex source is monitored daily for amendments. So your Declaration cites the specific component from your actual BOM, not generic filler, and the more you upload, the more specific it gets — the kind of detail that survives an inspector reading it line by line.
Verified, then scored — so you know exactly what to check
A second pass audits each claim against its own source and assigns a 0–1 confidence. Anything under 0.95 is held for your review before you can sign, so your time goes only to the sections that need a human eye — instead of re-reading one fluent draft end to end on faith.
Signed once, verifiable by anyone
The signed Declaration carries a QR code to a public verification page where a Notified Body, an inspector or your own customer confirms the signer, role, organisation and date — no account, no login. You hand over a checkable artefact, not a Word file a third party has to take on trust. The signature and QR are immutable once signed — enforced by database triggers that reject changes for every role, including administrative access.
Watched after you sign — you find out before your customers do
When a cited regulation is amended, Cenitia detects the change on its EUR-Lex page by content hash and flags every affected document by name — unsigned ones back to review, signed ones with a notification so you decide whether to re-issue. That is the early warning a one-off consultant deliverable cannot give you once the invoice is paid.
No invented directive numbers to catch later
Your product is classified against a fixed catalogue of ten EU regulations through a typed schema, and the regulation numbers and EUR-Lex links come from a static, human-checked map — never guessed by the model. A made-up directive number or a citation to a regulation that does not exist is structurally impossible, so there is nothing for an auditor to find that you missed.
EU data residency by default — not a clause to negotiate
Every model call runs on Mistral’s Paris-hosted infrastructure and your product data never leaves EU-controlled servers, with each organisation’s data isolated at the database level. No cross-border-transfer paperwork to chase, no US-LLM data-processing questions to answer for your own customers.
Why not just paste it into a chat tool?
Because a regulator will not accept “the AI said so”.
Compliance documentation is a legal artefact — wrong citations carry real liability. The difference between a chat tool and Cenitia is everything you need to defend that document in front of a Notified Body, a customer's purchasing audit, or a market surveillance authority.

|---|---|---|
| Knows current EU regulation text | Pre-cutoff snapshot. Often hallucinates article references. | Grounded in a verified regulation corpus; the live EUR-Lex source is hash-checked daily. |
| Cites specific articles | Plausible-looking citations, often unverifiable. | Numbered citations resolvable to exact CELEX articles. |
| Knows your product specifically | No — you describe it in the prompt every time. | Indexes your BOMs, schematics, datasheets — privately to your org. |
| Verifies its own output | No. | Second-pass chain-of-verification on every section. |
| Confidence per section | No signal. | 0–1 score. Below 95 % is flagged for expert review. |
| Signed legal artefact | No. | Electronically signed and locked, with a public verify URL on every PDF. |
| Audit trail | Chat history at best. | Version snapshot of every regeneration + edit + signer IP/UA. |
| Alerts you when a cited law changes | No. | Daily upstream diff. Affected documents auto-flagged. |
| EU data residency | Variable. Often US providers. | Stockholm only. Data never leaves the EU. |
| Customer data in model training | Depends on tier and provider. | Never. Your engineering IP stays yours. |
Honest about where we fit
A chatbot, a consultant, and Cenitia do three different jobs. You may need more than one.
These aren’t three versions of the same thing, and we won’t pretend otherwise — our own parent company, Inovasense, is a hardware-compliance consultancy, and we refer expert sign-off and Notified Body work to them. A general AI chatbot is a drafting aid. A consultant or Notified Body owns liability and performs the third-party certification some products legally require. Cenitia produces the documentation itself, faster and more reproducibly than either, while you keep the same legal responsibility you would keep anyway. The honest answer is that most serious manufacturers use Cenitia and a consultant, for different reasons.
A general AI chatbot
Best for
Understanding a regulation in plain language, brainstorming structure, a throwaway first pass.
Fine for learning — useless as a legal artefact. No current EUR-Lex text, no verifiable citations, no knowledge of your specific product, no signature, no audit trail, and no alert when the law changes. A regulator will not accept “the AI said so.” Use it to learn; never to file.
A consultant or Notified Body
Best for
Owned liability sign-off, edge-case interpretation, and the third-party certification that radio equipment under RED, certain machinery, and medical Class IIa-and-above legally require.
A consultant gives bespoke expert judgement and puts their name and liability behind the conclusion — typically €3,000–15,000 per product over four to eight weeks. Some products also legally need an independent Notified Body to issue the certificate. This is the right spend when a human has to own the process or certify the product, and Cenitia replaces neither. For full-lifecycle CE consulting and Notified Body engagement, we refer you to our parent company, Inovasense.
Cenitia
Best for
Producing the Declaration and technical file faster and more reproducibly than any manual process can.

Built by people who lived the problem
We built Cenitia because we were tired of paying €25,000 per product to consultants using Microsoft Word and PDF templates. The compliance know-how baked into Cenitia is the same know-how our engineering team uses on our own products — distilled into prompts, templates, and a verification pipeline so every customer benefits from it.
Frequently asked
What manufacturers ask before they sign up.
What is a Declaration of Conformity and who needs one?
A Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is the legal document a manufacturer signs to take sole responsibility for a product meeting all applicable EU regulations. Without a valid DoC, a CE-marked product cannot legally be placed on the EU market. It is mandatory for almost every IoT, electronic, medical, machinery, and radio product sold in the European Union.
What is the EU Cyber Resilience Act and when does it take effect?
The Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation 2024/2847) is the EU regulation establishing essential cybersecurity requirements for every product with digital elements sold in the EU. It enters into full application on 11 December 2027. Manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with Annex I’s 17 essential requirements and produce a DoC citing the regulation.
How does Cenitia differ from hiring a compliance consultant?
A consultant performs custom expert review and signs off on liability for €3,000–€15,000 per product over 4–8 weeks. Cenitia is a self-serve tool that drafts your DoC against the actual text of EU regulations in about an hour for €60/month. You retain legal responsibility but gain speed and reproducibility. Use a consultant when you need someone to own the process; use Cenitia when you need to act faster than any consultant can deliver.
Will a Declaration of Conformity drafted in Cenitia be accepted by EU regulators?
Yes. The DoC follows the format required by the specific directive (e.g. CRA Annex V, RED Annex VI) and cites every claim back to its EUR-Lex source article. Each document is electronically signed and locked, and carries a public QR code an auditor can scan to verify authenticity at a permanent URL. The manufacturer signs under sole responsibility — the same legal status as a consultant-drafted DoC.
Does Cenitia replace a Notified Body conformity assessment?
No. Products that require third-party conformity assessment under their directive — most radio equipment under RED, certain machinery, medical Class IIa and above — still need a Notified Body to issue the certificate. Cenitia helps prepare the technical file and DoC but does not perform the Notified Body function. For NB engagement, our parent company Inovasense offers full-service consulting.
What happens when a cited EU regulation is amended?
Cenitia continuously monitors every regulation cited in your documents against the EUR-Lex source. When an upstream amendment is detected, the affected Declarations of Conformity are flagged automatically and a notification is sent to the organisation. You decide whether the change warrants a re-issue.
Does Cenitia use customer engineering data to train AI models?
No. Customer-uploaded files (BOMs, schematics, datasheets, test reports) are indexed privately to your organisation and used only as retrieval context for your own documents. They never enter base AI model training. This is our binding policy, and it will be written into our customer terms at launch.
Where is Cenitia based and where is its data hosted?
Cenitia is built and operated by Inovasense s.r.o., headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia. Customer data is hosted in Stockholm, eu-north-1 — Postgres, file storage, and vector index on Supabase within the European Union. Application hosted on Vercel EU edge regions. Document generation runs on Mistral La Plateforme in Paris. No personal data leaves the EU.
