Products that are distributed in most countries must gain multiple types of approval in order to be legally sold to their citizens. Some countries have strict regulations on product distribution and some have less stringent regulations; that’s what can make the process of selling inside of a new country so difficult. When trying to distribute or market a product in any country, it’s important to find out the types of certifications that are required for specific products.

CSIA provides international approval services for manufacturers and distributors of products to help companies secure foreign approval for product distribution. We have an extensive knowledge base concerning international product compliance and an established global network of partnerships. Our connections span across international compliance companies, a range of industrial fields, testing laboratories and safety regulatory agencies.

We provide type approval services for companies to ease the process of gaining foreign approval for a wide range of products.

Throughout the process to gain international product approval, there are multiple steps that must be taken. CSIA provides guidance for every step along the way including documentation, testing and most importantly we submit the compliance package to the appropriate authority in each country. With our personalized account manager process you are assigned a personal account manager so that they get to know you, your company and your products.

Each part of the manufacturing, testing, importation and distribution process is extremely important to consider. Each one of these steps can have an effect on the overall time it takes to receive foreign approval. Using an international approval services consultant can increase the speed of product certification, ultimately saving your company time and money.

International Type Approval and Safety Approval

Every country has separate standards for products that are sold within their vicinity. International compliance is a broad term that covers the entire gamut of product requirements that a country holds in order for items to be sold or distributed within their region of authority. A company’s product must have the approval of a country’s governing body in order to sell their product within their region.


Figuring out how to distribute your product in another country can be difficult and confusing. Each country has its own ordinance and each industry maintains specific product testing and compliance regulations. Gaining the approval to sell or distribute a product inside of another country requires time, money, research and resources.
