| Accredited testing and laboratory services Conformity requirements for electronic devices Manufacturers must ensure compliance with all relevant Directives. Conformity requirements are requested for all electronic devices that can be found on open markets across the globe. This includes specific standards for countries and regions. For the EU market, the conformity is regulated by the European Directives and standards. Therefore all electrical equipment sold on the EU market must prove that it has successfully passed testing in line with this regulation. Eventually, they are assigned CE...

tradition. knowledge. responsibility. Complementary activies Certification of products inside the Institute. Laboratory for EMC and Safety operates test laboratories which are accredited for the most of the basic test methods. The laboratory accreditations are in accordance with ISO IEC/EN 17025 standard. KONČAR Institute runs an independent certification department as a Notified Body number 2494 and provides certification in the following areas: »» Electromagnetic Compatibility, legislation 2014/30/EU, formally accredited against EN ISO/IEC 17025 - EN ISO/IEC 17065 »» Radio Equipment,...

| Accredited testing and laboratory services Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) A Large number of electronic devices must comply with EMC Directive. We operate several test halls and offer a wide range of accredited tests. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a group of tests that limit disturbances produced by equipment and simulate test reaction of the equipment under the influence of disturbances. Limits and disturbances are simulated and specified for every device through harmonized standards. EMC is usually divided into two theoretical aspects, emission and immunity testing....

tradition. knowledge. responsibility. Low Voltage Directive (LVD) The combination of our experienced personnel, checking procedures and a single test location assures safe devices for everyday usage. Low Voltage (Safety of electrical equipment) tests simulate and evaluate safe usage of products by people or undeliberate contact with animals. Safety Requests of each device are standardized mostly via Harmonized Standards. All devices using radio spectrum or higher voltages during the work need to comply with LVD. Special care should be taken when the manufacturer is constructing the devices...

| Accredited testing and laboratory services Environmental testing We work closely with customers to identify the most appropriate and most relevant test options. Environmental tests usually include vibration and climatic tests, but can also include some other measurements, such as the measuring of noise emission levels, estimation of human exposure to vibrations, etc. Specific tests are often required for equipment that is going to be built at environmentally unfriendly locations such as marine applications, railway and power plant industries, or similar equipment. Vibration services that...

tradition. knowledge. responsibility. Radio equipment directive (RED) AH devices using the RF spectrum have to comply with Radio Equipment Directive. RED (Radio Equipment Directive) considers frequency spectrum and rational usage of the dedicated frequencies. All devices using the RF spectrum (intentional radiators which are using the spectrum to communicate) are considered RED equipment. The Directive refers to the communication with the host or other devices via specifically dedicated frequencies using ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical devices; communication procedures, e.g....

| Accredited testing and laboratory services IP and IK protection A large number of products needs to be properly marked as well as to communicate the application conditions to its users. IP testing (Ingress Protection) gives the information about the level of protection against solid objects and liquids. Usually, IP rating has two numbers, 0 – 6 for solid objects, and 0 – 8 for liquids. IK protection (Protection against mechanical impacts) gives the information about the level of protection against mechanical impacts. IK ratings are defined as the numbers from 0 – 10. Certain devices must...

tradition. knowledge. responsibility. GAD (Gas Appliance Directive) represents a selective number of tests considering basic safety for equipment operating with gases. When not constructed carefully, they can be very dangerous for the end users and gases such as CO (carbon monoxide) need to be handled with special attention. Devices powered by gas must be tested in accordance with the safety recommendations of the directives. These are crucial tests for all gas appliances to prove safety for the end users. Some of these appliances are used in everyday life and include household appliances...

| Accredited testing and laboratory services Services aimed at high customer satisfaction Development testing/prototype equipment with verifications of performance. Pre-compliance testing A group of tests performed before the actual production of the device which increases the chance to fully comply with type testing afterwards. Type testing according to the EN or IEC standards. Consultation services (strongly connected to development testing, they must be totally independent of pre-compliance or type testing). Certification Voluntarily procedure that gives the client the advantage of...
