Guiding electronics firms into new overseas markets
Introducing a product to a new market can prove expensive and time consuming if a company is not aware of regulations which can affect design decisions. Southern Electronics 2014 exhibitor TUV Rheinland can assist UK producers of machinery, industrial equipment and general electrical products to obtain International Approvals, no matter the target geographical market, says the company.
Suitability of components and materials, compliance with technical standards and regulations must all be considered to ensure that a product meets the correct import requirements.
No matter what the product is – most countries have their own set of rules to follow. Certain countries impose mandatory pre-shipment inspection and national certification requirements, which will need to be fulfilled prior to shipment. Failure to do so can result in severe delays, penalties and even shipments being confiscated or returned.
The company has a network of offices throughout the world, and is able to assist UK producers of machinery, industrial equipment and general electrical products to obtain International Approvals. It can test and certify products for compliance with the applicable national requirements for most countries around the world including North America, Saudi Arabia, Russia (and other former USSR countries), Iraq, Nigeria, Algeria, Kenya, China, Brazil, Argentina, Kuwait, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
