Accelerating safe market access

Global Certification

Global market access (GMA) involves navigating complex international frameworks (such as the IECEE CB Scheme, NRTL for North America, FCC, CCC, etc.), national deviations, and Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs).

What is it?

Global Certification, explained.

Global market access involves navigating complex international frameworks, and it is never a uniform process. Securing entry into diverse regions requires careful navigation through a complex web of national deviations and local authority demands. At AMS Consultants, we operate with supreme adaptability. We seamlessly scale our specialist network of international test labs, certification bodies, and regional experts to meet any geographical challenge you face, whether that is securing an NRTL mark for the United States or a CCC mark for China. Manufacturers often risk bleeding capital through duplicated testing caused by poor initial planning. Our goal is to optimise every phase of the conformity process to save you valuable time and capital. We strive for excellence by ensuring your core product design strictly aligns with overarching global standards, such as core IEC and ISO requirements, long before testing begins. By strategically leveraging CB Scheme test reports and international Mutual Recognition Agreements, we eliminate redundant testing, reduce regulatory risk, and streamline your route to worldwide deployment. Furthermore, we recognise that not every product is ready for every market, and pushing for certification in highly restrictive regions without the correct baseline data is a costly error. International certification demands strategic honesty. Built firmly on a foundation of integrity, we provide clear, data-driven advice regarding the true feasibility of your target markets. Through evidence-led decisions and thorough gap analysis of your existing test data, we map out the most realistic and cost-effective certification route. This approach ensures you only invest your resources in market expansions that are fundamentally safe and commercially viable.

The process

How we deliver this service

A structured sequence runs behind every project so nothing is missed and the deadline stays in sight from day one.

01

Demonstrate 'Adaptability' through Global Network Utilisation

Different countries require different local testing, factory inspections, or local representative registrations. Global compliance is never one-size-fits-all, requiring navigation through a complex web of national deviations and local authority requirements. We operate with supreme adaptability, seamlessly scaling our specialist network of international test labs, certification bodies, and regional experts to meet any geographical challenge you face—whether that is securing an NRTL mark for the US or CCC for China.

02

Leverage 'Excellence' and 'Client-Focused' Testing Optimisation

Manufacturers often bleed capital by duplicating testing for different regions because of poor initial planning. Our goal is to optimise every process to save you time and capital. We strive for excellence by ensuring your product's core design strictly aligns with overarching global standards (such as core IEC/ISO standards) before testing begins. By leveraging CB Scheme test reports and international MRAs, we eliminate redundant testing, reduce risk, and streamline your route to worldwide deployment.

03

Project 'Integrity' in International Feasibility

Not every product is ready for every market, and pushing for certification in highly restrictive markets without the right baseline data is costly. International certification requires strategic honesty. Built on a foundation of integrity, we provide clear and honest advice about the feasibility of your target markets. Through evidence-led decisions and gap analysis of your existing test data, we will map out the most realistic, cost-effective certification route, ensuring you only invest in market expansions that are viable and safe.
