Capitalize on international opportunities by accessing global markets
Global Market Access (GMA) is the process of determining applicable international regulations and managing product compliance to those regulations with respect to accessing global markets.
Bringing electrical and electronic products to market in different countries is complicated. Non-compliant products must be redesigned or reengineered, resulting in delays and loss of revenue. Customs officials may impound or deny access to non-compliant products, exposing manufacturers to potential legal consequences.
We act as your international regulatory approvals department. Our experts provide guidance on the compliance requirements and approval strategy for each country. We also perform product testing to the correct test standards as required, in some cases provide access to local representation for clients with no presence in the respective countries or regions, prepare applications on your behalf, perform a post-submission follow-up with the authorities/certification bodies, conduct training for your staff on technical standards used for implementation of regulations, and update you on the latest regulatory changes.
Our GMA services cover additional product categories that are not listed in the above. Click here to find out more Global Market Access services related to automotive components and healthcare and medical devices.
