General

Time to market (TTM) is the length of time it takes from a product being conceived until its being available for sale.We at ce-test understand that time-to-market is essential for the success of your product and your company. The earlier you start selling in Europe, the greater its potential market share and better the products perspective is in profitability.

SPEED

We may provide you with a 48 hour quote and our testing queues are as short as 2-5 days and we serve priority express services. Our comprehensive lab states are available electronically virtually immediately upon test completion.

EXPERTISE

We know your product, your industry and quality standards. We can suggest modifications to your product to solve the faults. To us EMC is an engineering skill, not a guess and try game.

CONVENIENCE

Save time and money by our one stop service for EMC and Safety testing in one procedure. The combination of safety and EMC testing in one test location creates a synergy advantage in both time and money. Many EMC measures needed to achieve compliance may affect product safety, and the same is valid for Safety testing. By keeping the 2 in one hand, conclicts will be coped with immediately.

How do we work:

  1. Upon reception of your order we will investigate your equipment to detect early failures.  If required we will send you a modification proposal FREE of CHARGE. This report will also notify you of possible future modifications in the applicable standards for your product.

  2. As a member of the Dutch NEC/IEC EMC voting committee we receive standard proposals far ahead of everyone else! We know what will change in 4-5 years, so we may make your equipment future proof !
    We will advise you if necessary.

  3. (1) and (2) mean that our test procedure may start with some (small) modifications of your equipment to be carried out.  This saves you both time (failing tests) and therefore extra testing fees. We will not wait to tell you until all tests are done, and then recharge you for full re-testing.

  4. Consequently testing starts and at any stage when a problem arises we will send you a briefing and add proposals for modification. If you want us to, we can (temperarily) modify your equipment is such a way that these modifications can be implemented easily later in your final product. Sometimes however, if modifications are extensive, a new product needs to be shipped to us.

  5. Upon finalization of the tests, we will create an extensive test report compliant to ISO 17025 for you, containing test results, and the documentation you provided us. Documentation is of major importance to positively identify your product. Without complete and accurate documentation a test report has no value ! This is especially true for low voltage testing.

  6. When testing radio equipment, your applied radio frequencies will be verified with a notified body for compliance with the different European national frequency plans, and documented accordingly. If required we provide you with a notification service.
