Supporting you with electrical safety testing services
Safety testing of electrical and electronic equipment is undertaken to demonstrate that a product meets specified criteria, in order to help ensure that it is safe and the risk of injury and damage to property has been appropriately mitigated.
An assessment of a product will consider hazards associated with that equipment, generally including, but not limited to:
- Mechanical hazards
- Electrical hazards
- Thermal & fire hazards
- Noise hazards
- Vibration hazards
- Radiation hazards
- Material or substance hazards
- Ergonomic hazards
A range of tests, visual assessments, evaluations and documentation reviews are undertaken in order to compile evidence that a product meets the safety criteria, which is usually defined in one or more international, or national safety standards.
