Communication and the exchange of data are the important issues in the current time. Consumers and service technicians leave on the correct and safe functioning of the products in many possibly situations. Therefore, the requirements for product qualification for manufacturers can be very diverse and challenging. The topics of product safety, EMV and environmental simulations are often major hurdles on the way to product launch.
SGS supports you in testing and certifying your electrical and electronic equipment in the field of audio, video, information and telecommunications technology in accordance with national and international standards and regulations. With our decades of experience and a broad international SGS network of testing laboratories and certification bodies, we offer all services for your products from a decade-long source.
Our laboratories, e.g. in Munich, are accredited by the DAkkS and internationally by the ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) according to ISO / IEC 17025 and for the international IECEE CB procedure.
We are also happy to offer you international product certifications such as for the North American market (NRTL / OSHA product safety certification or FCC EMC / radio), Japan (TELEC, JATE, VCCI, PSE), Korea (RRA, KC), Taiwan (NCC, BSMI) and many more. Further information can be found under the following link.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
In our EMC laboratory with several shielding cabins and absorber halls (3 m, 10 m), competent test engineers and excellent equipment are at your disposal. The best conditions to be able to test from small devices to large complex systems.
If you integrate radio modules into your systems, we support you in selecting the additional tests as so-called "combined equipment". The basis for this is provided by the guide ETSI EG 203 367 and ETSI EN 303 446-1 and -2 respectively. The resulting overall system must comply not only with the requirements of the product standard of the main function, but also with those of a radio system.
