Electrical safety
Protection against electric shock and energy-related hazards across relevant operating conditions.
- Leakage current and dielectric strength
- Clearances and creepage distances
- Earthing and accessible-part checks
Construction-led testing
Ratings, circuits, insulation and enclosure design determine the real scope.
Electrical products fail review when their configuration is unclear, not only when a measured value is out of range.
We start by fixing models, ratings, critical components, operating modes and protective measures. Safety, EMC and energy requirements can then be sequenced efficiently, with findings traced back to the actual construction under review.
- Typical products
- Appliances, controls, power supplies and commercial equipment
- Risk focus
- Shock, heat, fire, mechanical hazard and disturbance
- Scope drivers
- Ratings, insulation class, enclosure and operating mode
- Useful evidence
- Design release, technical files and certification review
Verification matrix
One construction. Four evidence channels.
Every test line is tied to a product condition and a reportable outcome, keeping engineering decisions visible.

Testing coverage
From protective construction to real operating performance.
The final scope is confirmed against the product construction, selected standard, market and representative sample configuration.
Heat & abnormal operation
Temperature performance and fault-condition behaviour of the complete product and critical parts.
- Heating under rated load
- Locked, blocked or overload conditions
- Fire and material resistance
Emissions & immunity
Assessment of disturbance generated by the product and its resistance to external phenomena.
- Conducted and radiated emissions
- ESD, EFT, surge and RF immunity
- Operating-mode performance criteria
Energy & functional performance
Measured consumption, efficiency and declared function against applicable market rules.
- Standby and networked standby
- Operating efficiency
- Declared capacity and function
Standards & requirements
Household
Safety & EMC
Market rules
The standard follows the equipment category and intended environment.
We identify the applicable edition and product-specific clauses before the laboratory programme is fixed.
IEC / EN 60335 series
General and product-specific requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
IEC / EN product standards
Construction and performance requirements combined with applicable CISPR and IEC 61000 methods.
Regional energy requirements
Market-specific efficiency, standby, labelling and performance obligations where applicable.
A controlled laboratory path
From product definition to usable evidence.
Each phase has a clear decision point, helping prevent unnecessary tests and avoid ambiguity in the final report.
- 01Define
Map requirements
Confirm intended use, variants, market, standard and documentation needs.
- 02Prepare
Fix the configuration
Agree representative samples, accessories, ratings and operating modes.
- 03Verify
Run the programme
Complete the agreed checks and communicate material findings as they arise.
- 04Evidence
Issue the report
Organise conclusions and results for engineering or market-access use.
Representative work
Evidence organised around the actual equipment configuration.
Examples of how testing can be structured around different products, configurations and market objectives.
Household appliance
Family-model safety programme
Critical-component review and representative testing structured across multiple rated variants.
Commercial equipment
Safety and EMC coordination
Operating modes and accessories fixed before emissions, immunity and safety evaluation.
Connected device
Multi-state performance evidence
Power, network, standby and abnormal conditions mapped into one traceable test configuration.
