Geneva (October 16, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article examining the demands placed upon electrical and electronic (E&E) device manufacturers operating in multiple markets.
E&E markets are continually evolving worldwide, making compliance a persistent concern for manufacturers. Alongside safety and performance, cybersecurity and sustainability are now key drivers in the market. Without global harmonization in documentation, testing protocols and conformity marks, manufacturers may find it necessary to duplicate testing and certification efforts to ensure compliance across different markets.
Global market access (GMA) provides a more effective solution. This one-stop approach helps manufacturers and brands overcome the complexity of operating in multiple regulatory environments by creating a single, coordinated testing, documentation and certification framework. It covers all compliance areas, including electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), safety, wireless, specific absorption rate (SAR), cybersecurity and energy efficiency.
SGS’s Consumer Compact article takes a deep dive into the challenges of operating successfully in multiple markets. It considers the advantages of GMA and the comprehensive solutions offered by SGS, which cover a wide range of E&E products and components.
