FES Communications

 

FES Communications provides comprehensive support for all aspects of the Type Approval process in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine

 

Start on the right footing

As soon as you place your order, FES Communications will engage in a full project review to ensure that we fully understand your needs.

 

Proper planning

We liaise with your team to perform full project planning with critical path analysis to develop the best strategy to ensure that all Approvals are completed on target.

 

Taking care of the formal needs

FES Communications's service includes preparation and submission of all Approval applications and compliance files. On the initiation of your project we will ask for required documents such as:

  • Product data sheet;

  • Details (preferably a drawing) of how the product connects to the communications networks;

  • Antenna Specifications;

  • Internal and External Test Reports;

  • User Guide (English language).

Additional documentation such as local language User Guides, Quick Set Up Guides, ISO 9001 certificates, Quality Manuals and so on may also be required, dependent on the type approval required and the targeted country.

 

FES Communications will provide help and support where we can if any documentation is not available.

 

The documentation you provide will be compiled into application files in the specific format and language required for each country. Any application forms or declarations required by the regulator will be completed in full by FES Communications so that all you have to do is review, sign and stamp the forms.

 

Removing the language barriers

All translation and interpretation required to facilitate the application process is included in our service as standard. English translations of local language certificates are provided on request. In countries where local language user guides are required, FES Communications can arrange translation for you. Where required, legal copies of the certificates are arranged at no extra cost.

 

No Delays ...

FES Communication will prepare all application files and submit directly to the authorities. We guarantee that all applications will be submitted within 2 working days of receiving the original signed documentation from you.

 

Testing

In countries where foreign test reports are not accepted, local testing will be required. Usually one sample and support equipment must be shipped to a test laboratory address in the country or to us.

 

FES Communications will provide assistance in clearing equipment through customs using the best brokers and our in-country contacts to ensure that there are no delays to your project.

 

We need to stress that our experts evaluate the product characteristics at the beginning of the project to be sure that the product is fully compliant with local Technical Requirements; we are proud that all products we have approved have passed local tests successfully. If we consider that the product will not meet the requirements, then our experts will provide advice on which characteristics would need to be changed on manufacturing side.

 

Either way, during testing, FES Communications will constantly monitor progress and use our expertise to help in eliminating any problems. FES Communications attends testing on your behalf in the countries where additional support is required or where problems are anticipated.

 

Great support to your sales team

FES Communications team in Moscow and our regional partner offices in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine will provide dedicated support and assistance in-country throughout the entire project.

 

On request, these offices can hold approvals in their own name, allowing you greater flexibility with your sales strategy and opening doors in countries where you have no local registered offices.

 

"And in addition ..."

FES Communications is proud of the strong relationships we maintain with the regulatory agencies of the countries we work with. These relationships are key to our success and the excellent Approval cycle times we offer to our clients.

 

The comfort factor

Your projects are carefully monitored and status is updated on a regular basis. You will receive a detailed project status report on a weekly basis (or more frequently if required) letting you know exactly where we are in the process. In addition, you will be updated of any critical issues immediately.

 

Always on line

Arrangements can be made for FES Communications consultants to be available on-line during your working hours (your time zone) in order to assist with your enquiries and discuss any questions you may have.

 

Always Approved

We maintain records of all Approvals obtained by FES Communications and conduct a monthly review to check whether any certificates are due to expire. You will be informed well in advance of the expiration of any of your certificates. FES Communications will handle certificate renewals at a discounted rate.

 

All-inclusive ...

To ensure no nasty surprises at the end of the project, FES Communications quote a fixed all-inclusive price at the beginning of the project.

 

Our quotations (in USD or Euro upon your request) typically include:

  • All regulatory Approval fees;

  • All in-country testing fees;

  • Technical support and assistance during testing;

  • Preparation and submission of all application forms and compliance files;

  • Shipping, packaging and courier insurance of your samples;

  • Customs fees and taxes, customs brokerage;

  • Translation and interpretation activities required to obtain the Approvals;

  • FES Communications project management and professional fees.

We require 50% prepayment for the services before we start the project.

 

... and there's more ...

The market for telecom technologies continues to develop and the regulatory requirements are changing, new Technical Requirements are being adopted especially with the Customs Union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Keeping track of these changes can be a difficult task for foreign manufactures. FES Communications guarantee that our customers keep their finger on the pulse of current events by issuing regulatory updates detailing changes or planned changes to requirements.

 

Our goal is to provide our clients with the highest level of project management and customer service to ensure that your experience with FES Communications is a positive and memorable one and that your approvals are delivered on time, every time.
