THIS WEEK'S QUESTION - AUGUST 13, 2026

Can I test my product for EMC one time and use the results for multiple countries?

Answer from James Cunningham, Nemko San Diego EMC/Wireless Manager:
Potentially, yes. With the right test plan, EMC testing can support compliance in multiple countries and regions, instead of starting from scratch for every market.

The key is knowing where you plan to sell the product before testing begins. Different markets may have different standards, limits, test methods, documentation, labeling, or approval requirements.

A test laboratory with Global Market Access expertise can identify where requirements overlap and develop a test plan that maximizes the reuse of testing and reports. This can reduce duplicate testing, shorten time to market, and lower overall compliance costs.
