Electrical safety tests
Protect your equipment and users
Electrical equipment safety: a crucial issue
The safety of electrical equipment is a priority for manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment, whatever their field of application: consumer, industrial, medical or other. Electrical products can present mechanical, electrical and thermal risks to users, their property and the environment. To ensure compliance, electrical safety standards lay down strict rules to avoid these risks.
