# CE + FCC + UKCA at Once: How to Run Parallel Certification

Running CE, FCC, and UKCA as three separate sequential projects can add six to nine months to your launch timeline. The smarter approach is a single coordinated test campaign that generates the evidence for all three markets simultaneously. The key is understanding what overlaps, what's market-specific, and how to brief your test lab for a multi-market campaign from the start.


## Transcript

### Sequential certification wastes months. Run it in parallel.

Certifying one market at a time, then going back for the next, can delay expansion by six to nine months per market. The alternative: a parallel strategy — one coordinated test campaign that generates the evidence base for CE, FCC, and UKCA simultaneously.

### What overlaps and what doesn't

EMC and IEC safety testing — EN 62368-1 for CE, UL 62368-1, BS EN 62368-1 for UKCA — overlap across markets. Radio testing doesn't; FCC and RED use different procedures. Each market needs its own DoC, markings, and responsible party.

### Briefing your lab for a multi-market campaign

Write one test request mapping each test to the markets it satisfies — EN reports for CE and UKCA, FCC reports for the US. Confirm the lab's TCB partnership and UL capability. Arrange your EU AR, UK RP, and US FCC agent before testing starts.
