Global Market Access Services for Consumer and Industrial Goods

Activate your access to new markets with TÜV Rheinland.

Our Global Market Access Services (MAS) support the introduction of your products in new markets anywhere in the world. With today’s fast-changing regulatory environment, it is crucial for businesses to determine current legal requirements and import processes in different countries, which vary according to product groups. TÜV Rheinland supports you with thorough research regarding safety and regulatory approval, review of necessary application documents, facilitation of customs clearance for test samples, as well as appropriate testing and certification.
Play it safe with product compliance

With our Market Access Services, it is easy to overlook legal requirements of the target market. If necessary, certifications are not available, this can result in rejection at the border, in turn leading to delays and financial loss. If authorities or consumer associations recognize that a product fails to meet the regulatory requirements of a certain market, this could lead to recalls, legal liability and reputational damage to your entire brand. We mitigate these problems by proactively working with authorities and external partner as well as local subsidiaries and representatives to ensure compliance.

 

One-Stop testing and certification solutions

TÜV Rheinland has a wide network of laboratories across the globe, which enables us to perform testing almost anywhere. We are capable of issuing many certificates in house as we hold our own accreditations, and we complement our network of laboratories with external partners. Additionally, our close interaction with local authorities ensure we are able to provide the necessary approvals. Our Market Access experts can be found in nearly every global region, so you can be sure of service in your own language, during your time zone, and – as always – with our personalized service and support.
+ Certification and project management

We are handling your certification for your goal market and obtain the needed type approval. We can assign a dedicated project manager from TÜV Rheinland who will take care of all the regulatory aspects mentioned. This experienced professional will handle all the necessary documentation and applications for your desired country. They will establish and maintain contact with authorities, laboratories, customs offices and local representatives, thus ascertaining seamless coordination. With their expertise and familiarity with the regulations of the target market, and their ability to speak the local language, our team of experts are able to navigate any challenges that may arise and facilitate successful export operations.

+ Providing test protocols

At TÜV Rheinland, we understand the importance of tailored test protocol preparation for your products, especially when targeting new markets and standards.

We provide various options to meet your unique requirements.
