What are some of the standards and conformance requirements in the area of electrical and electronics products?
A 11: Requirements may differ from one country to another based on criteria of the national/international standards and conference they are using. For example, Singapore uses the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, which are internationally recognised. Singapore also recognises overseas test reports issued by the IECEE Certification Bodies Scheme members and MRA partners of SAC-SINGLAS (Singapore Accreditation Council – Singapore Laboratory Accreditation Scheme. SAC is the national accreditation body). However, ASEAN established a working group – the ACCSQ Electrotechnical Products Working Group (the Electrotechnical PWG) to look into the possibility of harmonisation and/or mutual recognition arrangement for these products.
