Objective: Extract essential requirements and map relevant harmonised standards.
Recommended prompting techniques
Few‑shot prompting using examples of requirement extraction.
Chain‑of‑thought to ensure requirements → risks → standards mapping.
Self‑checking to verify that all essential requirement clauses are covered.
Prompt template
“Using the following examples of requirement extraction, analyse my product and list essential requirements and harmonised standards.
Example 1: For an electric drill → LVD: electrical safety, insulation, overheating; EMC: emissions, immunity.
Example 2: For a toy robot → Toy Safety: mechanical hazards, flammability, chemicals.
Now apply the same pattern to this product: [description]. Provide chain‑of‑thought reasoning and a self‑check listing any missing requirement categories.”
Example
“Using the examples above, extract essential requirements for a 230 V industrial fan and map relevant EN standards (EN 60335‑1, EN 61000‑6‑3, etc.). Include a self‑check.”
