HOW DOES AN MRA WORK?
The MRAs allow products to be tested and approved in one country to another country’s technical requirements. For instance, under the APEC Tel MRA, a cell phone can be tested and certified in the United States to Singapore’s technical requirements, and the product can be shipped and marketed throughout Singapore without the need for any further testing or approvals. The reverse is true as well – a product can be tested and certified in Singapore to the requirements of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and sold on the market here in the United States.
