In today's world, entering new markets is often accompanied by various challenges, one of which is product certification. This process may seem straightforward — obtaining a "quality seal" — but many companies face barriers that can significantly delay product launches and increase costs. In this material, we will discuss the main difficulties that end-users and consumers may encounter, as well as propose solutions from WorldWideBridge.
Certification-Related Issues
1. Product Adaptation
First and foremost, before starting the certification process, it is essential to ensure that your product complies with the standards of the target market. This may involve changing technical specifications, packaging, or even product design. For example, different countries may require various types of plugs or voltage for electrical devices.
2. Documentation Preparation
A complete and accurate set of documents is a key factor for successfully passing certification. The absence of necessary documents can delay the process or lead to its rejection.
3. Understanding Different Countries' Requirements
Each country has its unique rules and standards, so it is crucial to familiarize yourself with them in advance. A lack of understanding of local requirements can lead to serious legal and financial consequences.
