4.1 Approvals overview
Product certification approval is the process of certifying that a product has passed all tests and
criteria required by specifications, typically called “certification schemes”, which can be divided into
three distinct categories:

Regulatory certification
o
Country-specific approval required by local government in most regions and countries, such
as:

CE (Conformité Européenne) marking for European Union

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approval for United States

NCC (National Communications Commission) approval for Taiwan
 Industry certification
o
Telecom industry-specific approval verifying the interoperability between devices and
networks:

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
 Operator certification
 Operator-specific approvals required by some mobile network operator, such as:

China Telecom network operator in China

AT&T network operator in United States
