We all know that product development life cycle is vast & could involve many stages, especially if the product is a complex one, with multi-functionalities and high-speed processing.

Now, throw in the wireless capabilities, which almost every device nowadays needs to have, and the chances of not hitting any bumps in the road, while developing your product, are very slim.

Even when all the different variables like, for example, device radiations & susceptibilities are taken into consideration, and your samples are ready to be submitted for testing, we all know that there are no guarantees that there will be no failures.

And at that point, when your prototype is almost 100% finalized, going back to the drawing board and making changes to the design could be very costly.

So, what can be done to avoid finding yourself in a situation like this?  Have your product tested for Pre-Compliance first instead!

Pre-Compliance Testing is a quick validation of the prototype design for Emissions and/or Immunity, at all or specific frequency levels, that gives the ability to apply changes or modifications during pre-scanning.

While Pre-Compliance Testing cannot guarantee no non-compliances when the product goes through full evaluation, it can considerably reduce the risks & cost.

Advantages of Pre-Compliance Testing:

  1. Reduced time to market
  2. Reduced cost
  3. Early detection of flaws in the design
  4. Reduced product development time
  5. Can be helpful in achieving balance between simple & complex design
