Dear Readers,
We live in a world filled with products. Be it refrigera-
tors and air conditioners, furniture that brightens up
our homes, power tools and industrial robots that help
us at work, or the soft cuddly toys that children play
with, safety plays an invisible yet important role in our
daily lives.
The multitude of safety regulations for products is
staggering, especially so in the geographically diverse
Asia Pacific. Since 1978, our laboratory services in Asia
Pacific have steadily expanded to cover energy efficien-
cy (EE), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), chemical
analysis and type testing for wheels and tires. We are
pleased to announce three new additions in 2016: the
EE laboratories in Thailand and Malaysia and the EMC
laboratory in Vietnam.
As members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP),
Malaysia and Vietnam are likely to benefit from the
agreement. According to Chiou’s estimates1, Vietnam
and Malaysia are likely to benefit from new electronics
supply chains under TPP.
We believe the introduction of the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) and the TPP agreement opened up
enormous opportunities for Vietnam and Malaysia,
especially their manufacturing sectors. According to
Credit Suisse2, Vietnam’s GDP could grow by around
10%, while Malaysia could see a 5.5% boost to GDP by
2025. The predicted bright spots for both countries are
apparel, footwear and electronics. We see an increas-
ing need for market access and one-stop certification
solutions in Asia Pacific, and we are here to meet those
needs.
In this cover story, you will read more about the EMC
laboratory in Hanoi, Vietnam, get the latest market
trends on Business Stream Products from our expert
Mr Frank Piller, and receive a quick overview of our
laboratory capabilities focusing on product testing in
Asia Pacific.
We wish you an enjoyable and informative read.

News FlashCommunity Service with Yokohama RapportTÜV Rheinland Japan exhibited the works of two calligraphy groups
that pursue their skill at Yokohama Rapport (the Sports and Cultural
Center for the disabled). The calligraphies were displayed at TÜV Rhein-
land Japan’s Shin Yokohama Office through the cooperation of Yoko-
hama Rapport. Yokohama Rapport seeks to promote improved health
and social participation for the disabled through involvement in sports,
recreation and cultural activities. The term ‘Rapport’ used in the name
Yokohama Rapport means ‘a friendly relationship’, in French. The exhi-
bition showcased 24 pieces of work from calligraphy groups comprising
handicapped children, disabled individuals and dysphasia patients. TÜV
Rheinland Japan is pleased to support Yokohama Rapport efforts to pro-
mote social participation for the disabled.
Building Bridges through Art TÜV Rheinland Korea held its ‘Precisely.Art’ event for works from Mr Yong
Seok Kim at the Seoul HQ’s Art Gallery on 14 January 2016 to showcase
the works of young and budding Korean artists. Slated to take place every
quarter, the event offers TÜV Rheinland Korea’s customers the opportunity
to meet with employees and featured artists, as well as network with other
businesses.
First CTL Chairman from TÜV RheinlandTÜV Rheinland Japan has announced that John Ologbosere of the compa-
ny’s Product Division was inaugurated as Committee of Testing Laborato-
ries (CTL) Chairman of the IECEE in January 2016, the first from the TÜV
Rheinland Group and an Asian country.
Mr Ologbosere will be the Chairman for the next three years, working to
improve the quality of Testing Laboratories around the world. Mr Ologbos-
ere’s inauguration as CTL Chairman can be viewed on the Internet.
TÜV Rheinland Indonesia Certifies Medical DevicesThe growing demand for high-quality healthcare has contributed to the
increasing need for standardization of medical devices to ensure product
quality and user safety. TÜV Rheinland Indonesia has been accredited
by KAN (National Accreditation Body of Indonesia) as the Certification
Body for ISO 13485 LSSMMAK Medical Devices certification, covering
active and non-active medical devices. This further strengthens TÜV
Rheinland Indonesia’s ability to provide comprehensive conformity
evaluation services to our customers and support them in meeting strin-
gent requirements.

Technological Trends
Wireless communications
The increased importance and
application of wireless communi-
cations are readily apparent in the
growing number of new communi-
cations protocols being introduced.
Wireless technologies have been
developed dramatically in these
last 15 years. Now we have various
protocols such as Wi-Fi, ZigBee,
Wi-SUN and others.
What is significant is how these
wireless technologies are permeat-

Business Trends with Byte
How IoT is changing the business landscape
ing not only the usual IT products,
but across multiple industries.
Internet of Things
Expansion into the automotive,
medical and industrial sectors
was made possible through the
development of the “Internet of
Things” (IoT). IoT is the network of
things — not only information and
communication equipment such
as computers, but also all physical
objects in the world connected to
the Internet. By connecting and
intercommunicating, objects are to
be sensed and controlled remotely.
Business Trends with Byte 07
Bluetooth Laboratory Global Technology Assessment
Center (GTAC)TÜV Rheinland Japan
The Communication Laboratories are accredited by Bluetooth SIG,
Wi-Fi Alliance, ZigBee Alliance, Wi-SUN Alliance, OpenADR Alliance,
and others.
In the IoT landscape, physical
location is no longer a limiting
factor to participation.
We expect products currently
not connected to the Internet
to become part of the IoT at an
increasing pace. Devices that can
be worn by users are becoming
popular.
The German high-tech initiative,
‘Industry 4.0’, which in effect
defines the fourth industrial revo-
lution, provides further impetus. In
such a world, everyone has access
to the entire value chain.
The scope is global. A new Inter-
national Data Corporation (IDC)
Spending Guide predicts worldwide
spending on the IoT will grow at a
17.0% compound annual growth
rate (CAGR), from $698.6 billion in
2015 to nearly $1.3 trillion in 2019.
The Asia Pacific region in 2015
generated more than 40% of the
worldwide spending total1. Korea,
Singapore, Australia and Japan will
be the leaders to adopt IoT in the
Asia Pacific region2.
The world we live in – Importance
of cyber security
Yet, product safety fulfilling
cross-border global standards re-
mains paramount. Greater intercon-
nectivity and interdependence of
complex ICT systems still aim for
reassurances, regardless of where
you connect in this IoT, wireless
communications world. Cyber secu-
rity will become even more critical
in both industrial and private ap-
plications, due to the development
of the IoT. Regulation and technical
standards in the automotive sector
(e.g., R46, R131, and ISO 26262) are
in the process of being updated.
The Food and Drug Administration
is regulating medical software in
the US. As these technologies are
applied to products, our verification
processes will continue to grow in
importance.
The Challenges Manufacturers Face
Increased competition
In an IoT world, competition will
increase. Technology will need
to continue to evolve, providing
lower costs and more robust data
analytics.
We have to think global. Products
will not sell themselves, so market
access will become even more criti-
cal for manufacturers to grow their
business.
New Supply Chain Bases
The ASEAN Economic Community
(AEC) represents more than
622 million people. This huge
market will offer us significant
opportunities.
Global vision, local precision
We must adjust to the expanding
opportunities in this region. TÜV
Rheinland provides testing and
certification services according to
various wireless standards as an
accredited, appointed third party.
We adapt our services to the make-
up and needs of each country so
our clients can stay competitive.
We have offices in 10 countries in
Asia Pacific. Take advantage of our
expertise as an independent testing
organization for your marketing
activities. TÜV Rheinland, with IT
service provider OpenSky - a part of
TÜV Rheinland Group from 2013,
will support you in cyber security,
too.
Business in the Asia Pacific Region
The IoT and wireless communica-
tions are here to stay. Our commit-
ment to Asia Pacific is country spe-
cific and will continue to empower
each client to grow their business in
the region.

08 TÜV Rheinland Continues to Invest in Vietnam
In 2001, Vietnam signed the
Bilateral Trade Agreement with
the United States, which started
the country’s transformation into
a manufacturing-based, export-
oriented economy. The ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) plus
Vietnam’s participation in the Trans-
Pacifi c Partnership (TPP) and the
EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement
(EVFTA) make Vietnam even more
attractive to foreign investors.
TÜV Rheinland has invested
signifi cantly in premises and people
in Vietnam. Today we have lab
locations in Ho Chi Minh City and
the new EMC laboratory in Hanoi.
Located in the heart of ASEAN and close to global supply chains, new EMC lab will help multinational � rms diversify their sourcing base in Asia
The new facility is the only third-
party lab in Vietnam with a semi-
anechoic chamber. We brought
in experts and technologies from
Japan to build it and train our
Vietnamese staff in its use.
Located at Thang Long Industrial
Park II (Hung Yen Province, close to
Hanoi), the lab includes a 10 m
semi-anechoic chamber with a
sielded control room, a 23 m2
shielded testing room and a 38 m2
pulse immunity testing room.

The lab focuses on emission,
immunity and radio testing and
provides full EMC conformity
assessment for many electrical
products under standards of the
IEC 61000 family. Tests can also be
conducted according to customer
specifications.
‘The launch of the new EMC
Laboratory underpins our
commitment to support the
industrial development of Vietnam’,
said Mr Ralf Scheller, Member of the
Executive Board of Management
of TÜV Rheinland AG, Cologne,
Germany.
‘The testing facility that TÜV
Rheinland is opening today means
a lot for many companies who
are going to supply their products
produced in Vietnam to the
worldwide market’, said Mr Hitoshi
Fujiwara, Executive Vice President
and Director of Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.
Softlines Laboratory in Ho Chi Minh TÜV Rheinland Vietnam in Ho Chi
Minh currently provides testing
services for Softlines that include
footwear, garment, toys, as well
as testing services for Hardlines

10 New Test Beds in Asia Pacific
Following the 2015 Paris agreement
at COP21, more and more countries
are now acknowledging the need to
lower the world’s carbon footprint
and play their part in tackling climate
change. However, as temperatures
continue to rise around the world,
the use of air-conditioning systems
will inevitably see a jump, especially
in warmer tropical climates.
Enabling Consumers to Make
Informed Choices
Within the sphere of households,
emphasis has been placed on more
efficient air-conditioning systems,
given their significant contribution
to overall household energy use.
Household consumers are increas-
ingly on the lookout for such
systems, which makes sense for the
environment and utility costs.
For comparison purposes, they rely
on appliance labels provided by
credible third party certification
bodies – like TÜV Rheinland – to
make informed purchasing deci-
sions.
Enabling Manufacturers to Make
Nimble Decisions
To ensure new air-conditioning
systems are compliant with energy
efficiency standards, manufacturers
New Test Beds in Asia Pacific
Elevating energy efficiency
standards in the region
need to have their product
prototypes tested by the relevant
certification bodies during the
development phase. These test
results enable manufacturers to
have an accurate gauge of actual
performance.
One key problem manufacturers
face is the time delays, logistic
hassles and opportunity costs of
sending a prototype to such a
laboratory. It takes around two
days to test the energy efficiency
of single-system air conditioners,
and three to four days for multiple-
system makes.
Taking this issue into account,
TÜV Rheinland has established
laboratories in close vicinity to
manufacturers. One such facility
is the Korean Energy Efficiency
Laboratory located in Changwon,
an industrial city in the southern
part of Korea where many
manufacturers and industrial
complexes reside. Today, TÜV
Rheinland’s customers in the area
enjoy more readily available testing
and inspection services.

up-to-date test results.
A New Frontier in Asia Pacifi c
Since 2014, TÜV Rheinland has
launched two new laboratories in
Korea. The emphasis on the ASEAN
market continued with the opening
of a laboratory in the Philippines
in 2015. Another two are slated
to open this year in Thailand and
Malaysia. This strategic push into
effi ciency standards of export
destination countries. While a
majority of developed nations
have adopted the International
Organization for Standardization
(ISO) standards, others like
Australia, New Zealand, United
Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
have their own set of national
regulations, many of which are
becoming progressively stricter
to protect the environment.
ASEAN is attributed to the region’s
increasing dominance in home
appliance manufacturing.
Just as the three corners of the
TÜV Rheinland triangular logo
symbolize the interaction of man,
technology and the environment,
the role of energy effi ciency
testing will guide both consumers
and manufacturers in this part
of the world on a more tangible
path towards environmental
sustainability.

14 Enabling Clients to Meet the Mark
Enabling Clients to Meet the Mark
PS Mark Certification Scheme in the Philippines
PS Mark Certification in the Philippines ensures that
imported electrical products are in compliance with the
applicable Philippine National Standards Implementing
Guidelines. It covers the audit of organizations in the
manufacturing of household appliances, wiring devices
and lamp-related products. Auditors perform audits on
production-related documents and records, in-plant
testing and random sampling for independent testing.
Independent testing is conducted after ensuring full
conformity with the requirements and can only be
performed at recognized Bureau of Philippine Standards
(BPS) laboratories.
Challenges in the Process
One of the most challenging situations faced by auditors
is working with an organization that is not fully pre-
pared. The more non-conformities that surface, the lon-
ger it takes for the issuance of the certification. In order
to avoid this, auditees are advised to study the PNS and
Implementing Guideline beforehand. Language barrier
is another challenge. While some hire representatives to
speak on their behalf, they may not be fully aware of the
process.
When the Audit Does Not Go as Planned
All TÜV Rheinland auditors are equipped to deal with
unexpected circumstances. In one case, when the
Chinese New Year holidays prevented the witnessing
of an actual production, with careful considerations of
the stringent evaluation process of the PS Mark Audit
requirements, stock samples were used for testing. Prior
to that, auditees are informed that the final evaluation
is up to the Bureau of Philippine Standards.
Indonesian National Standard (SNI) Certification
Indonesian National Standard (SNI) Product Certifica-
tion is the only standard or directive nationally appli-
cable in Indonesia. The objective of this type of audit is
to ensure the quality of imported products and provide
competitiveness of Indonesian products. The standards
used are SNI ISO 9001:2008 for Management System;
SNI IEC 60335-1:2009 for general standard of safety test
for household products; SNI 60335-2-7 for particular
standard for washing machine; SNI 60335-2-24 for par-
ticular standard for refrigerator; among others. All SNI
standards that we use are adopted from international
standards such as ISO and IEC, and we are also following
government regulations such as Ministry of Industry
No. 34/M-IND/PER/7/2013 which stipulates that the SNI
Mark is required for products in the categories of refriger-
ator, air conditioner and washing machine that are being
sold in Indonesia.
Challenges in the Process
Language and travel time are the biggest challenges.
To coordinate with the auditee, it is important for an
auditor to speak the same language. Otherwise, hiring
an interpreter is required. Pertaining to travel time,
journeys can take more than six hours on land, so time
buffers have to be factored in, especially when flight
delays occur.
Ensuring a Smooth Audit Process
Our experienced auditors use a checklist to ensure all an-
gles are covered. They also advise their clients to prepare
the needed documentation in advance, be transparent
during the audit process and provide clear communica-
tion at all times.
