Bruce et al,
The APEC MRA, of which Korea is a member, has matured to the point where test reports are being accepted from member countries given that certain criteria are met. Those criteria are basically test lab quality system oriented. We have been successful in gaining EMC approvals from other APEC member countries with test reports from labs in the US (we have not pursued Korea as yet). For those interested, go to APEC's web site for further details, member countries, etc.: http://www.apecsec.org.sg/ Please in mind that this MRA is still fairly new and alignment procedures are likely still being worked out by the member countries, although I suspect after about a year now, a lot of the dust should've settled by now. It is possible that some agencies affected by the APEC MRA may choose to fully ignore the MRA, may be unclear as to how to proceed, or my only partially accept the MRA. That is, of course, their priviledge. Anyone else benefitted by using the APEC MRA? Comments? Best regards, Ron Pickard rpick...@hypercom.com Bruce Touzel <btouzel@acc.
