SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is reaching out to electrical and electronic (E&E) manufacturers to help them overcome the challenges of multi-market compliance through its Global Market Access (GMA) services.
GMA services deliver a coordinated approach to meeting diverse regulatory requirements across safety, cybersecurity, energy efficiency and environmental standards, reducing complexity and accelerating time-to-market.
Electrical and electronic devices, from smartphones and household appliances to industrial electronics, are now essential in daily life. Increasing reliance on these devices has prompted regulators worldwide to introduce stricter requirements covering safety, cybersecurity, sustainability and energy efficiency.
Emerging technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and 5G, combined with evolving energy efficiency standards in regions including the EU, China, India and Central America, make navigating multiple markets increasingly complex. Manufacturers often encounter differing requirements for testing, documentation, labeling and conformity marks, creating duplicated work and potential delays to market entry.
SGS provides a single, streamlined solution to these challenges. By integrating testing, certification, documentation and labeling into a coordinated framework, manufacturers can ensure products meet national standards while avoiding repeated effort. SGS also delivers proactive insights on upcoming regulatory changes, enabling manufacturers to adapt designs, production plans and documentation before new rules come into effect. This approach simplifies market entry, reduces compliance costs and strengthens competitiveness.
A wide range of E&E products are supported, including IT equipment, mobile devices, household appliances, luminaires, audio/video equipment, medical devices, photovoltaics, batteries, power supplies, power tools, machinery and automotive electronics. With its global network and deep local expertise, SGS helps manufacturers navigate complex regulatory landscapes efficiently, reduce risk and seize opportunities in new markets.
