Ship in Every Market on One Certification Plan
You run one test campaign instead of five. You work with one project manager. You watch every filing move in one dashboard.
Get Your Product Approved Everywhere You Sell It
You have a finished product and a stack of country approvals standing between you and revenue. MiCOM Labs clears that stack. We hold the certification appointments ourselves in the markets that drive most of your sales, so your files never wait in another lab’s queue. Below, see the regions we cover and the process we run to get you into them.
Where We Certify Your Product
| Market | Approval You Need | MiCOM Labs’ Role | What That Means for You |
| United States | FCC ID | Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) | We issue your grant in-house |
| Canada | ISED / REL listing | Foreign Certification Body (FCB) | We file alongside your FCC submission |
| European Union | CE marking under RED | EU Notified Body | We handle the assessment when harmonized standards fall short |
| United Kingdom | UKCA marking | UK Approved Body | We keep your CE and UKCA files aligned |
| Japan | Giteki mark (MIC) | Registered Certification Body | We validate antenna gain before you file |
| Australia & New Zealand | RCM mark | Managed SDoC + local representation | We prepare your declaration and appoint your representative |
| 40+ additional markets | Country-specific type approval | Managed filing through vetted in-country partners | You stay with one point of contact |
What You Get From a Consolidated Program
- One test campaign, every market. We build your test plan against the strictest limit across your target regions, then reuse that data everywhere it applies. Your product sits on the bench once.
- In-house grants, not handoffs. Our appointments let us review and issue your certifications directly. Your file moves at our pace, not a subcontractor’s.
- Live status through MiCMS®. Log in and see exactly which filing sits at which stage. Your engineering lead stops asking you for updates because they check for themselves.
- Automated data through MiTest®. Our automation captures your RF and EMC results as they run, so you review draft reports in days rather than weeks.
- Every certificate in one place with MiPassport®. Your grants and declarations live in a single searchable repository with renewal dates attached. Your next audit takes an afternoon.
- Engineers who catch problems before regulators do. We pre-screen your design against regional limits and tell you what will fail while you can still change it.
Why Choose MiCOM Labs for Global Market Access
Most labs test your product and then hand your paperwork to someone else. We hold the appointments that let us certify you directly, which removes the longest delay in a multi-region launch. Our ISO/IEC 17025 and 17065 accreditations cover the testing and the certification decision, so one organization owns your outcome from bench to grant.
We have run this program since 2001 as a privately owned, family-led lab. Our Pleasanton headquarters manages your program while our Shenzhen and Bengaluru teams sit close to your manufacturing partners. When your contract manufacturer changes a component at 2 a.m. their time, someone on our team answers.
Why Partner Stability Matters for Global Market Access
Expanding into new markets is rarely a one-time certification. It typically means ongoing testing, re-certification, and regulatory updates as your product line grows. Many of the larger compliance labs are currently going through heavy acquisition and merger activity, which can mean changing account teams, shifting processes, and inconsistent turnaround times right when you need reliability most.
MiCOM Labs has been privately, family-owned since 2001. Clients get the same accredited technical depth as the larger labs, RF, EMC, cybersecurity, and global certification, backed by a consistent team that stays with you across markets and over time.
Our Global Market Access Process
| Step | What We Do | What You Do |
| 1. Strategy & scoping | Map your target countries against your SKU variants and launch dates | Tell us where you sell and when you ship |
| 2. Pre-compliance & test planning | Identify every applicable standard and flag your highest-risk requirements | Send us your design files and radio parameters |
| 3. Test execution | Run your RF and EMC testing on MiTest® automation, then the DFS work your markets require | Review draft data as it lands |
| 4. Coordinated certification | File across regions in parallel and manage regulator questions | Approve submissions |
| 5. Certificate management | Load every grant into MiPassport® with renewal dates attached | Hand your team one login |
| 6. Post-market & change control | Assess each design change and file Class II permissive changes where needed | Tell us what changed |
How We Protect Your Launch Date
We consolidate your SKU variants before we file anything. Manufacturers routinely pay for separate submissions for units that qualify as a single family. We look for that overlap first and cut your filing count.
We build your change-control plan before you launch. Your certifications survive component swaps because we document the permissive change pathway while the original file is still open.
Key Things to Know Before You Start
- Your UK obligation changes soon. The UK accepts CE marking through December 31, 2027. We file your UKCA marking now so the deadline never appears on your risk register.
- Pre-certified modules shrink your scope. If your design uses a module we have already certified, we limit your testing to the host integration. Send us your module part number, and we will tell you what drops off the list.
- Some markets require an in-country representative. The EU and the UK each require a local presence associated with your file. Australia demands one too. We appoint yours as part of the program.
Choose Your Certification Path
Most clients start with parallel filing across North America and Europe, then add markets as distribution opens. We will tell you which path fits your budget on the first call, even if that means we lose the larger project.
| Criterion | Parallel Certification | Sequential Certification |
| Best when | You launch in multiple regions within the same quarter | You lead with one anchor market and expand later |
| Time to full coverage | Fastest, filings run concurrently | Slower, each region starts after the last one closes |
| Upfront cost | Higher, concentrated at the start | Spread across quarters |
| Risk of rework | Lower, one test plan covers every requirement | Higher, later regions can force retests |
| Cash flow fit | Funded launches with a fixed ship date | Early-stage programs proving one market first |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you certify my product for the US and Canada from the same test data?
In many cases the answer is yes. We hold TCB and FCB appointments, so we run one campaign and issue both authorizations without sending your file elsewhere.
How fast will I see test results?
MiTest® captures your data during the run, so you review draft results within days of your unit hitting the bench.
Do you handle countries where you are not an appointed body?
Yes. We manage those filings through vetted in-country partners and keep your program under one project manager. Your status still appears in MiCMS®.
What happens when my contract manufacturer changes a part?
Send us the change. We assess it against your open grants and file a permissive change where the rules require one, which protects your existing certifications.
Will you review a compliance plan another lab wrote?
Yes. We audit it against your target markets and show you the gaps before you commit budget.
Can you take over certifications another lab issued?
Yes. We load your existing grants into MiPassport® and flag anything approaching expiry. From there, we manage your renewals.
Who This Is For
This is the best solution for wireless and IoT manufacturers who sell into three or more regulatory regions and who cannot afford a launch slip. You might build connected consumer devices or industrial radios. You might build medical wearables or cellular modules. Either way, it fits you especially well when one person on your team owns compliance for a portfolio that keeps growing.
If you sell in a single market and expect to stay there, tell us. We will point you at the narrower service instead.
Start Your Global Market Access Program
Send us your target countries and your ship date. We will come back with a combined test and filing plan. It carries a realistic timeline for every market on your list and a fixed quote.
Prefer to start smaller? Ask for a market-access gap review on your current design. We will tell you what stands between your product and each market on your list.
