Safety is Not an Option,
It is an Engineering Necessity.

The Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) aims to ensure that electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits is placed on the market in a way that ensures the safety of people, pets, and property.

In addition to electrical safety, the physical integrity of the device and how it reacts under abnormal operating conditions are also covered by LVD. In our laboratory, we prove the safety of your products by pushing them to their limits.

In this process extending from the design stage to the final product, we do not just report "pass/fail", we work like a part of your R&D team. By detecting potential risks at the design stage, we prevent costly recalls. A safe product is the key to sustainable success.

Things to Consider

The thought "All my components are CE certified, I don't need to test" is a big risk. Heat, leakage current, and assembly errors that occur during system integration can only be detected by a holistic test.
