Get started with TÜV SÜD
Partner with TÜV SÜD for wireless testing, IoT device certification and global market access (GMA) support.
What is wireless testing and IoT device certification?
Wireless testing and IoT device certification is the process of verifying that products with wireless functions meet applicable regulatory, technical and market requirements before market entry.
From smart consumer products and connected medical devices to industrial systems and IoT-enabled products, wireless technologies are now embedded across industries.
Wireless testing and certification helps businesses confirm product safety, performance, interoperability and compliance, while supporting efficient market access and reducing the risk of delays, non-conformities and costly rework.
Meeting the demands of wireless communication
How can market players keep up with the ever-changing demands of the market and achieve the highest standards of wireless communication? Watch our video and discover how TÜV SÜD’s wireless testing solutions help you ensure the highest level of wireless product quality and compliance.
Why wireless testing and certification is important
- Major markets, such as EU, Americas, and Asian countries, require wireless products to meet specific regulatory and technical requirements before market entry.
- Wireless devices must use assigned frequency bands correctly to avoid harmful interference with other products, networks and critical communication systems.
- Products need to operate reliably, safely and as intended within real-world environments and alongside other wireless technologies.
How TÜV SÜD can help you with wireless testing and IoT device certification
TÜV SÜD combines recognised certification status, deep technical expertise and hands-on regulatory support to help manufacturers manage wireless testing and certification across global markets.
We are a recognised Notified Body under the EU Radio Equipment Directive, an Appointed Body for GB markets (UKCA marking), an FCC Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) for the U.S., an Industry Canada Foreign Certification Body (FCB), and a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) for Japan and the United Kingdom.
TÜV SÜD works closely with regulators and national certification bodies in key markets worldwide. We are designated under various Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs), helping streamline approvals for products entering participating markets. In the United States, TÜV SÜD is also authorised by OSHA as a Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (NRTL), reinforcing our global testing and certification capabilities.
Our experts actively contribute to national and international technical committees covering safety, EMC, EMF and RF testing for wireless and wireless power transfer devices. Supported by TÜV SÜD’s global laboratory network and broader participation in international conformity assessment frameworks, we help manufacturers manage wireless testing, wireless certification, IoT device certification and market access efficiently, helping reduce time to market through one experienced partner.
