2 Prepare for evolving market requirements The regulations covering hardlines products such as hardware, utensils and office equipment are growing increasingly complex. With rising awareness of issues pertaining to quality and safety, consumers in key markets expect safe and reliable products. To meet this demand, retailers, importers and manufacturers need to ensure that products sourced worldwide receive expert independent testing. TÜV SÜD has the technical knowledge and capability to perform testing and assessment in line with the rapidly evolving requirements for international market access. 2

3 Technical expertise and knowledge of regulatory requirements are critical for testing your products to the precise specifications of key markets. Securing global market access The trusted expert for demonstrating product safety and reliability The globalised product manufacturing environment is undergoing rapid change. Production with lower technical requirements is relocating to countries where the cost of manufacturing is more economical, while traditional manufacturing regions need to focus on upgrading their products with new technologies. To avoid the risk of product recalls, retailers are placing pressure on manufacturers to test for compliance with the many changing regulations. Manufacturers require a deeper understanding of the requirements for global market access in order to enter new markets. As product lifecycles are compressed, there is also a need to reduce testing turnaround times and keep costs low.
