01
Testing answers “what was measured”
A laboratory applies agreed methods and reports data and results. Whether that scope supports market access needs separate confirmation.
02
Certification answers “how the product enters”
The route may also involve classification, technical files, factory assessment, local representation, marking, registration and surveillance.
03
Information to provide first
Use, model differences, BOM, target countries, labels/manuals and existing reports help avoid duplicate testing and wrong routes.
