> China
> MII (Network Access License) Required
> CCC (Safety, EMC and Lightning) Certs Required (I was under the impression
> this product was outside of the scope, though)
> Must be a registered Chinese company to hold certs
> All tests must be performed in China - Lead time 6 months
> Test fees $25K - probably need local rep to assist
> All docs translated to Chinese
> Unknown what's required for Lab Trials
>
> South Africa
> SABS (accepts IEC CB and CISPR 22 reports), ICASA (accepts reports from
> accredited labs?) certs required for revenue shipments
> No requirements for lab trials
Only Resident Company can hold certs
> Singapore
IDA approval not required for Network Equipment
> PSB approval Required?
> No requirements for Lab Trials?
>
> Taiwan

> No requirements for Lab Trials
>
> Poland

Any Telecom certs required?

> Mixed responses on lab trials (most responses are safety report with
> declaration/prominent notice of EMC non-compliance is OK)
>
> Japan
> No mandatory safety or EMC certs (I have or will have IEC CB Scheme Report
> as well as CISPR 22)
