FOR ELECTRONICS PRODUCTS

Managing Global Market Access and International Approvals is the core focus of Bureau Veritas, where we oversee the testing and compliance activities for clients selling electronics products across the globe. Our comprehensive services encompass dedicated testing, both in-house and through third-party labs, and project management support to assist clients in obtaining mandatory and regulatory certificates for over 150 countries and regions worldwide. When applicable, we handle local testing and engage in negotiations with regulatory agencies. Our regulatory services cover areas such as Radio, EMC, Safety, and Energy Efficiency.

With decades of experience, particularly in handling large and intricate projects, we serve as your gateway to markets around the world.

There are various approval regimes in place:

1. Self Declaration: Examples include compliance with EMC and Radio Equipment Directives in Europe.
2. Classical Type Approval: Adhering to FCC or ISED Canada rules in North America.
3. Complicated Import Rules: Applicable in cases where in-country testing and/or factory inspection are required, as seen in Brazil.
4. Emerging Markets: Often characterized by rapidly evolving type approval processes.
