Testing, certification, and compliance services

Eurofins Electrical & Electronics supports manufacturers of consumer electrical and electronic products with extensive experience, expertise, and capabilities to help you bring compliant products to market quickly and cost-effectively.

From electromagnetic and wireless compatibility to product safety and performance verification, manufacturers face a multitude of regulatory and market-specific requirements as customer demand for new technologies has created many new growth opportunities. However, these new opportunities have placed additional pressure on manufacturers, product designers, and retailers to ensure that products meet customer requirements while also complying with legal requirements.

For example, equipping refrigerators with Wi-Fi, washing machines with NFC, or smart home devices with Bluetooth® has dramatically expanded the range of products that may require additional testing and certification, some of which may require additional regulatory approvals at the regional or local level.

Our global network of laboratories and comprehensive industry knowledge can help you meet these requirements and ensure that you:  

• Bring products to market on time and within budget.
• Reduce costs and timeframes during product development.  
• Increase your revenue in new and emerging markets with our Global Market Access services.  
• Ensure regulatory compliance and customer acceptance at every stage of the product lifecycle.
• Increase your sales in new and emerging markets with our Global Market Access services.
• Ensure regulatory compliance and customer acceptance at every stage of the product lifecycle.

Whether you are designing, manufacturing, or launching products, we have the expertise, experience, and services to meet your needs now and in the future.

Global Market Access Services

The ability to place a single product in multiple global markets is an essential requirement in the life cycle of many consumer electronics products. Understanding the specific access requirements for each market is crucial both during the product development phase and during the testing, approval, and certification phase.

We offer manufacturers a Global Market Access Service that supports you in obtaining international approvals and specific certifications in individual countries. Our GMA teams work with you throughout the process to ensure that all aspects of product compliance, approval, and certification are covered, and advise you on the best way to launch your product, both now and in the future.

Electrical safety inspection

Ensuring that your products are safe to use and pose no danger to the user is a crucial factor in the acceptance of your products by both retailers and consumers. Although this is often referred to as electrical safety testing, some of the assessments go beyond electrical properties. Safety testing ensures that products do not pose a hazard or risk when used in everyday situations or when used in a foreseeable manner that is not in accordance with the intended purpose.

Eurofins Electrical & Electronics has an extensive range of accreditations for product safety testing, covering key markets such as the EU with CE marking, the US and Canada with MET NRTL marking, and the global CB scheme covering more than 50 countries.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a fundamental part of product acceptance in many markets. Eurofins E&E offers comprehensive EMC testing and certification services covering many regulatory requirements, including CE marking for Europe, UKCA for the UK market, FCC for the US, ISED and Canada, and many more.

Testing and certification of radio equipment

The use of wireless technologies in all types of consumer electronics products has increased dramatically in recent years. This has been accompanied by an increase in regulatory controls and compliance requirements for products containing this type of technology.

Eurofins Electrical & Electronics offers comprehensive services in the testing, compliance, and certification of products containing wireless technologies, covering all major protocols, including, but not limited to:

• Bluetooth
• Mobile communications (GSM / EGPRS / UMTS / WCDMA / LTE / NB-IoT / LTE-M2M)
• Wi-Fi, RFID & NFC
• Bluetooth® SIG (BQTF & BQC)
• IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee).

Our laboratories also offer specific absorption rate (SAR) testing, CITA accreditation for OTA performance testing, PTCRB and Verizon ITL approvals, and specific approvals and certifications for the EU, UK, US and Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan.
