Nemko Direct
Our Nemko Direct service means that we undertake, on behalf of the client, the whole process of obtaining certificates and approvals for most countries in the world. The service comprises from application to follow-up and payment, in addition to the required testing and documentation. The service is well established and presently covers East European countries, Russia and other former Soviet republics, Asia including China, Korea and Malaysia, and countries in Latin America, Middle East and Africa. We also offer certification to Canada and to the U.S. in partnership with our North American NRTL.
Mandatory certification
A large number of countries still have mandatory certification for electrical equipment and telecom/radio appliances. This means that the products must be approved in the respective country before it can be imported and sold. Nemko has made special arrangements with approval bodies and authorities involved in most of the countries concerned, to avoid as far as possible that the products have to be re-tested and re-inspected in each case, and thereby minimize both delivery time and cost.
Special service for special markets
Some countries have more comprehensive rules than others; e.g. Russia requires in addition to safety and EMC, special hygienic certification for a number of products. For personal computers, this includes measurement of radiation, ergonomics, acoustic noise, etc., which Nemko is uniquely qualified to perform. We have translated relevant regulations and standards into English, and we have employees speaking Russian and Chinese as well as local representatives to help follow up applications.
Issuing of declarations that no certificate is needed
Even if a product does not need certificates, there can appear problems with the respective countries customs. It also might be necessary to show partners and customers in the market or country you seeking to sell that a specific product does not require a certificate. To avoid these problems a declaration can be issued, to show that this product does not need the certification.
