Global Market Access (GMA) is the process of evaluating, testing and certifying a product to local mandatory regulations enabling the sale of that product into global markets.
The Complexities of Global Market Access Explained
In most countries, products containing wireless functionality, such as cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID, are subject to meeting local Radio Certification requirements. The process often consists of a paperwork submission to the country’s local Certification Body by compiling either the manufacturer’s existing CE (European Union) or FCC (United States) test reports and supporting technical file documents.
However, some countries do not accept foreign test data, requiring manufacturers to send samples to local laboratories for testing, inspection, and evaluation. Additionally, Radio and Non-Radio Electrical and Electronic products may require a mix of Product Safety and EMC certifications depending on the country of interest and product type.
