Product certification approval is the process of certifying that a product has passed all tests and
criteria required by specifications, typically called “certification schemes”, that can be divided into
three distinct categories:
Regulatory certification

CE (Conformité Européenne) marking for European Union
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approval for United States
Industry certification
o Telecom industry specific approval verifying the interoperability between devices and
networks, as:
GCF (Global Certification Forum), partnership between mainly European device
manufacturers and network operators to ensure and verify global interoperability between
devices and networks
PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board), created by United States network operators
to ensure and verify interoperability between devices and North America networks
