Electrical manufacturers
Manufacturers of electrical products must comply with strict product safety regulations and pay extra attention to different regulatory and compliance standards. As a result, they often need help with the certification process of their products.
Product testing is the most crucial part of the certification process, and it should not be left out of it. It is required to ensure the quality and reliability of a product that is about to enter a market. Through product testing, manufacturers can set technical standards for their products to deliver high-quality goods that are safe for customer use. Electrical safety testing helps verify that a product is designed correctly and fulfils all health, safety and environmental legal requirements applicable to it.
Main issues with product testing and certification
Electrical safety testing and certification doesn’t come with no obstacles, and manufacturers often face market entry barriers like:
- Lack of regulatory knowledge
- Lack of supplier compliance documentation
- Skyrocketing costs for safety testing
- Extremely long lead times
- Documentation upkeep
Manufacturers of products like electrical equipment and machinery are advised to test every single component of their newly developed products to balance safety and liability. However, such thorough product testing is usually time and cost prohibitive.
