You want to grow your international sales. As part of your analysis of potential new markets for your products, you need to factor the cost and resources needed to have those products certified to comply with different countries’ quality and safety regulations. Are those costs worthwhile? Do you understand what your organization needs to do to meet their requirements? – and most importantly – What is your Return on Investment? This seminar will focus on the business case for obtaining product regulatory certifications in the Americas, the EU, Russia, China and other Asian countries. Participants will learn the synergies between different regulatory certifications, what questions to ask before investing company resources to have their products certified for sales in international markets and how to minimize the costs needed to qualify those products for the largest number of international quality and safety requirements.
