How Type Approval Works

  1. Review — we assess your product scope, wireless technologies and target markets, then confirm the applicable requirements.
  2. Documentation — we prepare and review the technical dossier: test reports, declarations, labelling and administrative forms.
  3. Submission — the application is filed with the competent authority.
  4. Follow-up — we coordinate authority questions, sample or in-country testing requirements.
  5. Certification — the type approval certificate is issued; we advise on labelling obligations.
