Aha, the thread just hit the topic I was just waiting for, and I know this
isn't going to be an easy question.
Some countries won't take the data taken at a NIST accredited lab
without further agreements being signed. Taiwan is an example. You can still
do it in country but your lab has to have some sort of arrangement with Taiwan.
A few, I don't have a clue to the percentage, labs have this and for the extra
translation fee etc, you can pretty much get the data you need while doing a
normal US/European set of tests, radiated emissions and immunity.
Some countries, like Russia will take the NIST (A2LA or NVLAP
accredited) EMC and CB data, but require a review and filing fee.
A third set like Korea still want in-country testing. There is only a
single public lab in Canada that has an agreement with Korea to take the data
(now both emissions and immunity). At least as far as I currently know.
Are their any more of the third set of countries that I should be
concerned about. Sorry I know this is a wide open question.
As a small company my current MO is to obtain the core countries that
we would immediate try to open as markets. Basically, North America, and
Western Europe, and Japan. I then just try to be prepared with CB data and NIST
lab data for those countries that essentially want to review that data on their
own for acceptance.
Folks like Korea, just have to wait until our financials show us that
it is worth spending the money for what is basically a retest of the equipment
for a specific country. Sales, Marketing and I are on the same page to this
point, but they certainly would like to know those countries where I need to
re-test as soon as possible, both from a cost and a time perspective. While I
have asked that they help provide this information from the in-country sales or
distributors, that has met with limited success.
Anybody aware of other, possible more obscure markets, that are still
looking for in-country testing.

Subject: RE: CNS Standards
Hi Fred,
Is that an official translation of CNS 13438? By the way in visiting your
website I notice that you stipulate that "In-country testing is required for
most equipment" Under the APEC Mutual Recognition Arrangement, both Taiwan
and the US being signatories, it is not required that testing be conducted
in Taiwan. Testing may be conducted by a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB),
in the U.S., that has been Nominated by NIST and confirmed by DGT. We are
still in Phase 1 of the Arrangement so submission to DGT is still required.
Once we move to Phase 2 the confirmed CABs under Phase 2 should be capable
of certifying products for DGT. I'd be happy to discuss our capability with
you off-line.
Best Regards,
Barbara
