Define the Scope

Identify the applicant, exact model, configuration, intended use and target market. A change in age group, power rating, installation or material may change the applicable requirements.

Submit Complete Evidence

Provide the complete report with annexes, amendments and sample identification; the laboratory’s relevant qualification; a clause-by-clause comparison; and the required English and authentication documents. Uploads and subsequent requests are handled through the applicant account.

Review & Decision

Technical review checks the regulatory baseline, evidence and claimed margin. A separate authorised person makes the decision. Missing or inconclusive evidence is requested through a recorded notice; it is not treated as proof of a higher standard.

Record & Communicate

An award has a defined model, market, basis and validity period. Its multilingual record can be checked using the award number. Subsequent changes, expiry, suspension and withdrawal remain visible through the current status.

Apply for Assessment

GSQA charges no application, review, award, certificate or mark-licence fees. The award cannot be purchased. Testing, translation, notarisation and authentication obtained from independent providers remain the applicant’s external costs. Paying a provider neither guarantees an award nor changes the assessment threshold.
