Certification
Why is Certification Crucial?
Marketing Compulsory
Certification is required to sell your products.
Specific projects
For a prototype, an innovation project or a specific development, certification is not mandatory, unless requested by your customer.
Why include EMC/RF standards in your project, even if they aren’t mandatory?
Quality and Reliability
Ensuring that the product functions correctly without interfering with other devices, thereby boosting customer confidence.
Reputation and Competitiveness
Positioning the product as more reliable and of better quality than those of competitors can be an effective selling point.
Preparing for external markets
Anticipating the requirements of markets where these standards may become mandatory facilitates future expansion.
Risk Reduction
Minimize the risk of technical problems, claims or litigation, even if testing is not legally required.
How to check the conformity of your project?
Defining Applicable Standards
Among the hundreds of existing standards, identify those that cover your industry, application and region.
Designing tests
Define the necessary test scenarios.
Choose a Laboratory
Select a laboratory to suit your needs.
Planning and carrying out tests
Organize and monitor test execution.
Our areas of expertise
Certification is a complex process, involving many different areas of expertise.
It’s crucial to integrate it from the earliest stages of your project to guarantee compliance. Find out more about design.
Each stage is independent, and NEXIO can intervene in all or some stages of a certification.
- Prepare and specify tests for certification.
- Identify relevant standards (CISPR, IEC, DO160, MIL STD, ETSI, FCC, EN, etc.).
- Understand the specific requirements of the standards applied to the project.
- Support for the certification process.
- Writing test plans and report templates.
- Support in choosing monitoring criteria and operating modes.
- Support for the design and validation of test and monitoring benches.
The plus: Optimization of the test plan by interpreting the standards according to the project to define the best compromise between the tests to be carried out, the documentary justifications and the optimization of acceptance criteria.
- Test plan analysis.
- Laboratory testing (customer, external or Nexio)
- Test plan analysis.
The plus: Design and pre-qualification testing to minimize costs and the risk of non-conformity during qualification testing.
- Support for laboratory choices (internal, external or NEXIO).
- Organization of qualifications: planning,
- hazards, transport, etc.
- Check setups, metrology, etc.
- Implementation of product test benches and operating modes.
- Supervision, monitoring and control of the correct performance of tests in accordance with standards and the test plan, in liaison with the laboratories.
- Communication with validation or project teams, notebook writing.
- Record and document non-conformities, then pass them on to the project team.
- Check the test report and, if necessary, add to it or adapt it to the customer’s format.
Our experts will guide you through the CE marking process, to ensure that your products comply with regulations and can be safely placed on the market.
