Intertek inks pact with Egypt-based NTRA

Quality assurance provider Intertek has signed an agreement with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), Egypt, for testing wireless and telecom products manufactured by Indian companies in that country's market.
Intertek's Electrical division will perform tests for the products, while the Government Trade Services division will conduct pre-shipment inspections, Intertek India Director Sandeep Vig said in a release issued here today.
"Our vast experience in testing and certification globally will ensure that our services will fully meet the mandates set by NTRA. Such fast moving emerging markets require experienced organisations to provide these services to ensure compliance with national and international standards on behalf of the industry and the general public," Vig added.

The NTRA has a set of rules and specifications for telecom equipment being introduced to the Egyptian market.
To ensure that all products meet the required parameter set, NTRA has selected Intertek as one three third-party international companies in India for the testing and accreditation of products to be exported to Egypt, said the release.
