Intertek's global compliance experts provide an all encompassing view of the legislative requirements for products in their respective industries and global markets.
Sound strategy and planning are the cornerstones of successful compliance with environmental regulations. However, many companies feel they are caught off-guard by international product-related electrical regulations and requirements. Companies should be able to focus on their core products and not have to become one-time experts in every emerging environmental, safety, electrical, and product regulation of every country.
Intertek is committed to simplifying corporate requirements for global product compliance and reducing overall costs. Leveraging our experience in EU RoHS, EU WEEE, China RoHS, Japan Green , US state legislation, EU packaging and battery directives; safety, EMC/EMI, and other product certification requirements; and the emerging requirements of ErP, REACH, EPEAT, Korean RoHS, and IEC111, Intertek provides you with the knowledge and foresight to make informed decisions for your products.
