    Global Market Access (GMA) is determining applicable international regulations and confirming product compliance to those regulations.  This process can be complex and intimidating, and the consequences of non-compliance can result in impounding product or denied access exposing manufacturers to potential field related and/or legal issues.

    When considering GMA, it impacts almost every aspect of your product – Safety, EMC, Wireless, RoHS, Cybersecurity, and Energy & Environmental.

    And as products become more complex, so do the regulations. Bureau Veritas’ dedicated GMA team will be your partner in this tedious process and undertake the burden of everything - from helping you with the applications, submitting applications, collect and review required documentation, and consistent communications/follow-up with foreign approval agencies. The ability to have Bureau Veritas as your GMA champion is what we’re trained for which will allow you to focus on the other aspects of your job.  Contact us to learn more!
