Choose the right perspective
Match the person's seat to your question: in-house compliance engineers for planning certification into a product schedule, test lab and certification engineers for how testing and filings run in practice, and compliance managers for building a team and a multi-country approvals program. Also consider whether the person's product types, such as phones, radios, Wi-Fi equipment or medical devices, resemble yours.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02How do you choose a test lab and certification body for a new wireless product?
- 03What most often causes a product to fail RF or EMC testing, and how do you avoid a redesign late in the schedule?
