International Product Certification

Are you planning to sell your E&E (electrical and electronic) products "worldwide"? Do you need someone to help you identify and overcome certification barriers? We are happy to assist.

In addition to tests, certifications and approvals for the EU and the USA, we are able to cover all major international markets. As the world´s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, we operate a network of more than 2,700 offices and laboratories around the world. With our more than 96,000 colleagues and our network, we are able to offer local certification and testing services on five continents, e.g. Asia-Pacific, Latin America, non-EU European countries, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), Middle East and Africa.

SGS is specialized in worldwide certifications for RF (radio frequency / wireless), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), product safety, EMF (Electromagnetic Fields / Human Exposure) and chemical testing (e.g. RoHS, China-RoHS, California Proposition 65, ...). We can help you to overcome language barriers, understand and comply with complicated regulations and procedures.

SGS also has special solutions based on mutual recognition agreements (MRA). This saves time and money and reduces your risk. Many international certification bodies accept SGS test reports for national certification. SGS has such agreements in place for example with Korea KTC / KTL / KTR (product safety, EMC and factory inspections), Mexico ANCE / NYCE (product safety), Argentina IRAM (product safety and factory inspection), Israel SII (product safety and EMC) and Israel ITL (product safety and EMC and factory inspections).
