Global Market Access (GMA)
Comply with international regulations and approvals to achieve access to global markets.What is Global Market Access?
Manufacturers, importers, retailers or traders seeking to bring their products to the global market face challenges in managing compliance with technical regulations. In the absence of harmonised standards and requirements as well as differing national standards across countries and regions, manufacturers need to be aware of the regulations for each country or region they want to access. This is where TÜV SÜD’s global market access (GMA) services come in. It is the process of determining applicable regulations and managing product compliance to those regulations so that businesses can achieve access to global markets. TÜV SÜD experts can advise you on the compliance regulations of every country and the strategy you need for each.

Why Global Market Access is important
Bringing 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.
Some countries and jurisdictions impose specific technical restrictions such as product testing, certification and shipment inspection requirements. In addition, the complex regulatory framework in some countries is constantly being updated and expanded.
All of this necessitates GMA to determine what are the applicable regulations in each market.
