D.L.S. Electronic Systems, Inc. was officially designated as a CAB (Conformity Assessment Body) for EMC and Notified Body for R&TTE Directive in January of 2001. The United States and the European Union have implemented an MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) which reduces barriers in the trade of telecommunications and electronic products by eliminating multiple product testing requirements. EU regulators will now recognize reports issued by D.L.S. Electronic Systems, Inc. since it is a designated CAB for EMC.

The U.S. - EU mutual recognition agreement annexes on telecommunications equipment, covers telecommunications terminal equipment, including radio transmitters, and information technology equipment. The annex on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) covers equipment subject to EU and US radio interference and compatibility requirements, including radios and VCRs imported into the United States and most electrical and electronic equipment exported to the EU.

The US - EU MRA covers product sectors now representing over $60 billion in annual two-way trade. The MRA, which entered into force in December 1998, will allow conformity assessment (product tests, inspections, certifications) to be performed in the United States to EU requirements and vice-versa. When fully implemented, the MRA will eliminate duplicate assessments for products in the following sectors: telecommunications and information technology equipment; network and electromagnetic compatibility for electrical products; electrical safety for electrical and electronic products; good manufacturing practices (GMP) for pharmaceutical products; product evaluation for certain medical devices; and safety of recreational craft.
