TELECOMMUNICATION CERTIFICATION APPROVAL
Global Market Approvals for U.S., Canada, Taiwan and Europe

The converging radio, telecommunication and IT technologies have resulted in a demand for globally adopted standards and specifications. To be successful and stay ahead of your competitors, it is necessary for your products to comply with the current regulatory requirements of your target markets. From the outset of your project, working with knowledgeable professionals located in key business areas within America, Asia and Europe, can provide that initial guidance and keep compliance costs to a minimum.

Bureau Veritas Electrical, with its global reputation for value-added services, can partner with a manufacturer, retailer or importer of radio, telecommunications or IT equipment to achieve multiple goals. Our assistance can help a company be first-to-market with compliant products, or demonstrate that your consumer electronics are among the best in their class, or achieve faster access to worldwide markets. Our experienced engineers have been involved in the evolution of telecommunications compliance since the mid-1980s and have successfully tested hundreds of types of telecom products.

Bureau Veritas offers worldwide telecommunications approvals management, including certification and product testing. Our certification bodies are located in Massachusetts (www.curtis-straus.com) and Taiwan. Testing services are provided by Bureau Veritas Electrical in China, Taiwan, France and Germany.
