Are you in the world of electrical and electronic products? Navigating international markets can be daunting, with each country having its unique set of regulations and certifications for product safety. You might have certifications like IEC, EU, or FCC through partners like TÜV SÜD, but that might not be enough for every market.
Global Market Access (GMA), known as Homologation or Type Approval, involves national requirements that manufacturers must meet to enter specific markets. Many countries demand a Certificate of Compliance from their regulators or a national conformity mark on the product, each with its unique set of criteria.
Non-compliant products often need redesigning, leading to delays and lost revenue. Customs may halt or deny entry to non-compliant products, posing legal risks.
Fortunately, most regulators accept EU/FCC reports as evidence of compliance, but some countries like Brazil, South Korea, and China require local testing. That's where TÜV SÜD comes in.
TÜV SÜD acts as your international regulatory approvals partner, guiding you through compliance and approval strategies. They can provide local representation, handle applications, and liaise with authorities on your behalf.
In this video, Charlotte Pemberton-Bennetts, Project Manager (GMA), explains more about what GMA is and what to look out for when trying to sell your products into new markets around the world.
