Signing these documents is an agreement to develop an MRA (particularly the
APLAC document). The individual signatories have to work individually with
the US (or between each other) to create an MRA. The APLAC document is not
an MRA.

Sent by: <[email protected]>
Thank you to all of you who replied.
I am in a position of reviewing test reports for a DoC product designed and
tested
in India. So with no MRA I suppose the DoC could be invalid.
I have asked the lab for their accreditations and I am told that they are
NABL accredited.
It turns out that NABL is a signatory to both the ILAC (International
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and the APLAC (Asia Pacific
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) agreements. These agreements are
suppose to make all accredited labs equal. NVLAP and A2LA are also
signatories to the same agreements.
While I could not find an MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) between
NVLAP/A2LA and NABL, the fact they are a signatory to these two
international agreements would make me think that an NABL accredited lab’s
results would be accepted by the FCC.
Does anyone else agree??

They have no MRA but if this is telecom related, TEC should accept your US
accredited laboratory emc test
reports. Telecom tests are done in-country

Hello all!
Does anyone know if a MRA exists between the US and India for
accepting EMC test reports?
