While on the surface it may appear the regulations are straight forward, however when actually communicating with the authorities you will begin to uncover the bureaucracy and will be at a distinct disadvantage. The value of employing an agent will allow efficient communicate with the certification body, test lab and your customer to facilitate the process, define the testing scope, and cut through the bureaucracy. You need to find an experienced agent that has a background in both cultures, spe! aks their language and can provide solid engineering judgment. We were able to maneuver through this maze much faster and cheaper than our east coast division by hiring a consultant named Jay Gandhi of EMT. In my opinion he is the best choice for India and a few other countries.

I just got my certificate yesterday. In the long run, I think it'll help, but we have to start somewhere. Hopefully, having this type of program will start a process to which people expect a certain level of knowledge on product safety. Something analogous to someone having a bachelors, masters or Ph.D. There is a certain level of knowledge that one expects when someone has these degrees. (It is only a general statement and I am sure there are plenty of knowledgeable people who do not have degrees, that a smarter than those who do.) Good luck to all those who apply.

Is this a certification that hiring managers recognize? Is it anticipated that managers and/or hiring speacilists will come to recognized this certification as significant? Also, is there any relationship between NARTE and the IECEE? Thanks much for advice and opinion.
