Approvals
DSL work to ensure that all electronic design projects end in success and this includes achieving the necessary approvals. The law mandates that every electronic product released on the market must meet specific safety and operational criteria, which are formally certified. At its core, electronic devices must not only be safe for human interaction but also must neither interfere with the operation of other electronic devices nor be susceptible to interference from them.
The testing required to ensure these characteristics is comprehensive and conducted at specialised EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing centres. Here, designs are subjected to rigorous tests to verify that they do not exceed established limits. Successfully passing these tests results in the issuance of the EU’s renowned “CE mark,” or its equivalent in other locales, signifying compliance with essential regulatory standards.
Electronic Design Certifications
Beyond the basic legally required certifications in your home country, many electronic designs also need to be certified for use in international markets. This is crucial for any company aiming to export their products. These equivalent foreign standards, while generally similar to the EU’s “CE mark,” have distinct applicable limits and must be individually validated as compliant. Each region’s certifications reflect local regulatory requirements and consumer safety concerns, necessitating a tailored approach to compliance.
It’s also necessary to take into account that many application-specific products, such as devices intended for use in train cabs or on aeroplanes, require additional certifications. These are stringent to ensure they are completely safe and suitable for use in those specific environments. The validation and testing processes for these products go beyond the basic ‘it works and does not hinder other devices’ methodology, involving more detailed and rigorous assessments to meet higher safety and performance standards.
