Approvals in the USA, Canada and Mexico

North America is one of the largest sales markets in the world with enormous purchasing power that offers attractive opportunities. Manufacturers who wish to increase their sales must be present here.

Take advantage of our service for a rapid and problem-free market launch. Let your product be tested and certified in a single process for the entire North American Free Trade Zone.

The U.S., Canadian and Mexican governments have precise regulations which a product must satisfy before it can be approved in those markets. The products are subject to obligatory testing and certification by an independent testing body which must be accredited in the respective country.

A manufacturer, therefore, must satisfy several requirements. That means work, time and money. No problem. Simply hand over the whole process to us. We take care of all the formalities and thus pave the way for your successful market entry.

We have been established for many years in U.S. and are licensed to operate as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). In this function, we offer you our cTUVus mark as proof of the tests conducted according to UL standards.

In Canada, we are licensed for testing and certification according to Canadian standards. With the cTUV mark you can be sure of a successful launch on the Canadian market.

cTUVus mark

With this mark, you can sell your products in both the U.S. and Canadian markets without problems. You easily save yourself time and money for approvals. You gain enormous advantages. Clients who already have a TÜV-approval, such as,the GS mark, have no need to pay any additional annual fee for a cTUVus mark and in some cases, can even forego additional monitoring of their production facilities.

In Mexico, your products must be approved according to NOM. Household and similar products are overseen by the certification body NYCE while electronic and IT products by ANCE. Recognition of our test reports is ensured by a bilateral agreement with a laboratory accredited by both certification bodies. You are not required to send any extra test sample to Mexico. We take care of everything for you on the spot.
