Common Electrical Safety Tests
Some of the most common tests included in Electrical Safety evaluations are:
Global Market Access
Depending on which market they are to be approved for, Electrical and Electronic products will have to meet different safety requirements. For example, if the product is destined for the North American market, it will be required to be tested and certified by an accredited third-party, as per the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC – Canada) or the National Electrical Code (NEC – USA) and bare the certification mark of the Certification Body issuing the certificate.
On the other hand, products manufactured for the European Union (EU), will be required to comply with the applicable EU New Approach Directives, for CE Marking, as declared by the manufacture or person placing the product on the European marketplace.
Certification/Listing for North America
Electrical and Electronic products destined for the Canadian and U.S. markets are required to be tested and certified to the applicable CSA and UL electrical safety standards by an accredited third-party, such as LabTest Certification, as per the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC – Canada) or the National Electrical Code (NEC – USA). Once certified/listed, products must bear the Certification Mark of the Certification Body issuing the certificate. The LC mark demonstrates that the product has gone through thorough testing and is in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Safety standards.
CE & UKCA Marking
In order to be labelled with the CE and/or UKCA Mark, products manufactured for and sold within the European Union (EU) and/or the United Kingdom, are required to comply with the applicable EU New Approach Directives and/or U.K. Regulations.
