Short Range Devices (SRD) Testing

Home Short Range Devices (SRD) Testing
You are developing low power radio transmitters termed Short Range Devices (SRD) for
their short operation range and thus low capability of causing interference to other
wireless/radio equipment. SRDs are for example:
  • Model controls like Remote Controllable (RC) toys
  • Alarm- and emergency systems
  • Wireless automation devices based on ZigBee ® , WirlessHART ®  and any proprietary
  • technology
  • Keyless entry systems
  • Modules for wireless (wideband) data transmission like WLAN (WiFi ® ) or Bluetooth ®
  • Telecommand devices
  • Radio Frequency IDentification devices (RFID)

You need regulatory compliance testing for your SRD products according to the European
R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC) or the US regulatory requirements of the FCC to allow market
entry in the EU or the USA?
The Center for Quality Engineering (CQE) of the SGS Germany GmbH is testing a wide
range of SRD products according to the market access regulatory requirements of many
countries, with specific focus on Europe and the USA.

Our SRD Testing Services:

  • Pre-Compliance Testing of your SRD product:
    Testing of certain transmitter parameters in an early stage of development prevents you
    from a high risk of failing the compliance test at the end of the development phase and
    thus helps to save money and to shorten the time to market.
    Some of the measurements that may be required are: RF power output, occupied
    bandwidth, adjacent channel power, conducted spurious emissions and frequency
    stability over temperature.
  • Witnessed Manufacturers’ Testing (WMT):
    You are looking for testing options which allow a shorter time to market? To support
    these needs SGS CQE provides accredited testing at the manufacturers’ premises. This
    approach allows manufacturers to carry out their own SRD testing in their own test
    laboratories using their own test equipment.  
    SGS CQE supervises this activity very closely and provides necessary support and
    maintenance. The capability and competence of the test laboratory and the used test
    equipment is verified in advance of testing and by regular audits in accordance with
    DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
