Need a Turkish-market hair removal device and CE-certified electric shaver that meet TSE compliance — without holding your hand through certification, engineering, or localization? Zhejiang Haohan Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. delivered a fully compliant, bilingual-labeled personal grooming device solution for a Turkey-based brand — from zero specifications to FOB Yiwu shipment in 42 days.
Client Background
- Location: Istanbul, Turkey
- Client Type: Emerging DTC personal care brand expanding into local e-commerce and pharmacy channels
- Pain Points:
- No internal R&D or regulatory team — unable to define technical specs, BOM, or TSE test scope
- Zero familiarity with Turkish labeling law (TSE Regulation No. 2019/16), voltage requirements (230 V / 50 Hz), or Type F plug standard
- Rejected two prior quotations due to missing TSE documentation and non-Turkish packaging
- Required epilator and shaver combo units with unified branding — but minimum order thresholds exceeded budget
Stated Requirements
- 1,000 units of Turkish-market hair removal device (rotary epilator, wet/dry, rechargeable)
- 1,000 units of CE-certified electric shaver (foil-type, 3-speed, USB-C charging)
- Full TSE certification support — including test coordination, technical file preparation, and TSE mark licensing
- Turkish-language packaging, instruction manual, and on-device labeling
- No existing CAD files, bill of materials, or compliance history — required full turnkey definition
Solution Delivered
Haohan executed end-to-end OEM development under its One-Stop OEM/ODM Services framework — starting from market-aligned product architecture and concluding with TSE-certified mass production:
- In-Stock Wholesale Base Model: Leveraged existing CE-certified platform (RoHS, CB, REACH verified) to cut lead time by 60%
- TSE Compliance Pathway: Conducted pre-test gap analysis; coordinated third-party testing at TÜV Rheinland Istanbul lab; secured TSE certificate (No. TR-2025-EPIL-0872 & TR-2025-SHAV-0873) in 18 working days
- Localization Execution: Designed dual-language (EN/TR) blister packaging + carton; embedded Turkish safety warnings per TSE Regulation No. 2019/16; added Type F plug and 230 V input circuitry
- Minimum Order Flexibility: Applied In-Stock Wholesale terms (1 full carton = 200 units) — enabling 1,000-unit split across 5 cartons without custom tooling

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you supply Turkish-market hair removal device units without requiring 3,000-piece MOQs for compliance-related customization?
Yes. We apply our In-Stock Wholesale model — not OEM tooling — to deliver TSE-compliant units at 1 full carton (200–500 pcs, model-dependent). Voltage, plug type (Type F), bilingual labeling, and TSE certification support are included with no MOQ uplift.
2. Do you provide full documentation for customs clearance in non-EU markets — including Turkish VAT-compliant invoices and TSE certificate copies?
Yes. We generate DDP-ready documentation packages: commercial invoices with correct HS codes and Turkish VAT fields, packing lists with net/gross weights, original TSE certificates (TR-2025-EPIL-0872 / TR-2025-SHAV-0873), and CE declarations. All documents are issued pre-shipment and validated by our export compliance team.
3. How do you ensure consistency between the epilator and shaver combo SKUs when branding, packaging, and firmware are aligned across two separate devices?
We assign a single project manager across both SKUs and enforce cross-functional alignment via:
- Unified BOM revision control in ERP (same part numbers for shared components)
- Joint QA sign-off on color-matched housings and logo placement accuracy
- Synchronized firmware builds with identical UI language logic and menu hierarchy
4. What is your process for validating that bilingual packaging meets TSE Regulation No. 2019/16 — especially safety warnings and mandatory symbols?
We execute three-stage verification:
- Pre-design review by native Turkish-speaking QA engineers using official TSE regulatory text
- Physical mock-up validation of blister + carton under TSE-specified font size, contrast, and symbol placement rules
- Final label audit against shipped units — traceable to batch number and production date
5. If we need to scale from 1,000 to 5,000 units within 12 weeks, can you maintain identical TSE/CE compliance status and avoid retesting?
Yes. All certifications apply to the certified platform — not per-batch. Once TSE and CE are granted (e.g., TR-2025-EPIL-0872), subsequent orders retain full validity. We archive technical files, test reports, and firmware versions in our ISO9001-controlled document system for instant retrieval and audit readiness.
