Consumer and Industrial Electronics Testing

In the United States, all consumer and industrial electronics manufacturers cannot display their electronic products in the market until they have complied with all of the mandatory certification requirements as provided by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These certifications are crucial to consumers of your product, guaranteeing quality and compliance to all marks and standards needed for both the local and international markets.

Compliance Testing Offers a Range of Testing Services

There are several types of electronic product certifications for electronics as required by different regulatory environments. Notably, the specific regulatory requirements for your product will depend on the country the product is exported to. If the intended market for your electronic product is the US market, the crucial certifications you need are the FCC requirements for electronics and UL, CSA, and IEC/EN standards. If you are targeting any of the European countries, your product must meet CE standards for electronics, with WEEE and RoHS. Our compliance testing is designed to cover all of these certifications while enabling you to penetrate both the local and international markets with ease. Some of the exceptional testing services that we offer include:

Testing for IoT & IIoT Devices

Internet of Things (IoT) continues to evolve and gain global acceptance in a wide range of applications. According to statista.com, the number of active Internet of Things connected devices is expected to hit 30.9 billion units by the end of 2025. The IoT market is also expected to reach USD 1,854.76 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 25.4% during the forecast period.
