💼 Professionally Managed Organization

A Quarter-Century of Quiet Expertise

Global Approbation was founded to solve a very specific problem: foreign manufacturers were losing valuable time, capital, and goodwill navigating India's regulatory labyrinth. Certifications that should take weeks were stretching into years. Applications were returning with queries that required expert interpretation. Factory audits were failing on preventable details.

We built our practice to fix that — one file, one client, one market entry at a time. Over 24+ years, we've grown from a single New Delhi office into a global consultancy with 10 offices, pan-India associates, and long-term partnerships with some of the largest electronics, battery, and industrial manufacturers in Asia.

Under the guidance of our mentors and global managers Mr Benedict Son and Mr Nicolas Shim — together bringing over two decades of experience in the Korean and Indian regulatory ecosystems — we have built a professionally managed organisation trusted by Samsung Electronics, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, TCFG Compressor and hundreds of other international and domestic producers.

Common Questions About Working With Us

Practical questions prospective clients ask us before the first meeting.

How long has Global Approbation been operating?
We have been providing regulatory certification consulting services since the year 2000 — over 24 years. The firm was founded in New Delhi and has since expanded to 10 offices serving clients across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Do you work only with foreign manufacturers?
No. While we have strong international client relationships — particularly in Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Latin America — we also serve Indian domestic manufacturers, importers, and brand owners. Our practice covers the full range of Indian compliance regardless of where you're based.
Which certifications do you handle?
Our core practice covers BIS CRS, BIS ISI (FMCS for foreign manufacturers), WPC / ETA, BEE Star Rating, TEC, CPCB EPR (Battery, E-Waste, Plastic), Legal Metrology (LMPC), DGFT Licences (IEC, Advance Authorisation, EPCG), PESO, Scheme X, and STQC. We also offer Global Market Access advisory for companies expanding beyond India.
How do your fees work?
We provide written proposals with milestone-based fixed fees. The proposal separates our consulting fee from third-party costs (government fees, lab testing charges, audit logistics), so you have full visibility. There are no hidden charges — anything not in the proposal doesn't get billed.
Can you serve as our Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)?
Yes. For foreign manufacturers seeking BIS FMCS / ISI Mark licensing, we can act as your AIR — the legally-responsible India-resident entity required under the BIS Act 2016. We also provide AIR-equivalent representation services under other Indian regulatory regimes where local representation is required.
What languages does your team speak?
Our team speaks English, Hindi, Korean, and Mandarin fluently, with conversational capability in other regional languages. This means factory audits, technical queries, and authority communications can be handled in the client's preferred language — a significant advantage during BIS FMCS audits in foreign factories.
How do we start working with you?
The easiest way is to WhatsApp us on +91-9289587478 or use the enquiry form below. Share your product details, target timeline, and any existing international certifications (FCC/CE/UL). We respond within 24 hours with an initial assessment and, if you wish, a detailed proposal within 3–5 business days.
Do you support certification in countries other than India?
Yes — our Global Market Access (GMA) practice helps clients obtain certifications for key markets beyond India including UL (US), CE (EU), UKCA (UK), KC (Korea), CCC (China), SASO (Saudi Arabia), and more. We leverage our international office network to coordinate multi-country certification projects under a single engagement.
