market the product!
Define the Order of approval requirements.
Think about the wider approvals requirements and possible
acceptance of existing approvals documentation.
Do you need Local Representation?
Make sure the samples are configured correctly!
Ensure the documentation is correct!
Get the application form right!
Understand the rules for importation of products for approval
and customs clearance.

40. What you need to prepare
Samples: Typically 1 - 5 samples will be required
• Will they just be doing a visual inspection, or full RF Testing?
• RF Testing will usually want:
• Transmit and Receive on Static Channels (Top, Middle, Bottom)
• Control modulation (e.g. CW or >98% duty cycle with modulation)
• Transmit using all modes/data rates the device supports (EDR/Basic Rate)
Documents:
• R&TTE / FCC Test Reports (Must be accredited for some countries)
• Technical Specification
• User Guide (English + Local language)
• Label Artwork and Position
• Internal & External Photos
• PCB Artwork (Track Layout)
• Schematic Diagram
• BoM (Bill of Materials)

• Dedicated PM assigned
• PM re-confirm project
information, country
priorities, and deadlines
with customer
• Country assignments
distributed across UL team
Project
Initiation
• PM defines and works with
customer to gather all
required documentation
• PM distributes
documentation to country
handlers
• PM provides customer with
project updates, weekly as a
minimum!
Ongoing
Project •As each country certification is
issued, you will be immediately
notified.
•The invoice will then be issued for
the completion of that country
•Once the final country certification
is issued and the project is
complete, the PM will schedule an
overall project review meeting with
the customer to discuss what went
well and any opportunities for
improvement that will be
implemented.

49. Test Report Recognition
• Test report recognition is often derived from Certification Schemes
or Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) between country
governments
• Certification Schemes
• CB Scheme
• Several key MRAs are in place between the US and other countries
for wireless devices
o EU, Australia/New Zealand, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and
Vietnam
o Other key MRAs that afford report recognition such as ILAC agreement
o Broad recognition of EU/US test reports in emerging countries - geographic
