Hi Julian, It is confirmed by a BSMI high level official that the BSMI doesn't have an MRA with European countries. As of today, BSMI has an MRA with the following countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States. Best regards, Grace

For directly applying for: An applicant submits an application to the BSMI, with all required document. BSMI reviews your paperwork and arrange a lab audit. If the audit results are satisfactory, your lab is accrdited. The most time consuming work in this option will be the arrangement for auditors' traveling. The auditors are government employees. It take some time to have travel permission approved. Make sure you prepare for good paperwork, including nice lab/site pictures. Another important thing: Taiwan uses 110V, not 120V or 240V. Make sure you have 110V power source. A variac works. Laboratory accreditation through an MRA is the easiest and cheapest way to go. The US has an MRA with Taiwan in this regard. All lab needed to do is to fill in a piece of paper during their NVLAP or A2LA (may be some others that I don't know) lab accreditation. That's it. I am not sure if BSMI has an MRA with EU countries. This is not difficult to find out. I hope this helps.

We have started the process of getting BSMI approval as a UK EMC lab. I'd like to hear from anyone who has done this and could give me the benefit of their knowledge and any advice on speeding the process. I am aware of the costs, that isn't an issue particularly. Most labs seem to be USA based and maybe it works via the NRTL scheme ? Would very much appreciate and tips and things to avoid. Look forward to hearing from anyone with advice !
