Testing systems for electromobility

Testing radio systems for electromobility

The heart and brain of high-voltage electrical on-board systems – Verify the safety and quality of your power electronics

The power electronics of electric vehicles, two-wheelers, commercial vehicles, industrial trucks, electric rail and ship technology as well as aircraft performs crucial tasks. For example, it converts the frequency, form, and strength of the electric current as required by the motor. In addition, the power electronics creates the connection between the battery and other electrical loads as well as to the power source during the charging process. This means that all electrical connections converge in the high-voltage electrical on-board system.

As a developer or supplier of power electronics, you and your products play a key role for your customers – the manufacturers. This makes it all the more important for you to be able to document the conformity of your products with regulatory and manufacturer-specific requirements.

We test individual components such as electronic control units, busbars, inverters, and DC/DC converters as well as the entire system. With our expertise in electromobility, our state-of-the-art test procedures and our expert test reports, you can be sure that your power electronics will perform as a reliable control center.

Testing on-board systems for electromobility

Safe and reliable architecture for performance and comfort

In electromobility, electricity is not only used for vehicle propulsion. It is also the energy source for a large number of electrical on-board systems. Those improve performance and comfort, but also increase power consumption. Therefore, high-performing, highly reliable power supply architectures for all on-board systems are a crucial component in electromobility.

In our specialized laboratories, we test all relevant parameters of these architectures in a variety of scenarios. This includes the stability of supply systems as well as environmental simulations, interference suppression (EMC) and simulations for bus systems.

Testing electrical components and connectors for electromobility

Connectors and cables in an electric vehicle

You create great connections, we test them – electrical components and connectors

Even advanced electric drive systems can only work as well as their electrical components and connections. Conformity with manufacturer specifications and an absolute reliability of these components are therefore essential.

This applies even more as electromobility is expanding from passenger and freight road transportation to rail and ship technology as well as aircraft. New areas of application bring new requirements for electrical components and connectors.

We test whether your products comply with the applicable manufacturer specifications and regulatory standards, which provides you as the developer or supplier of these components with an opportunity to document compliance and high safety standards.

Our test mark or certificate for your motors, switches, capacitors, relays, connectors, thermostats, control units and other components facilitates market access and creates a high level of trust with your partners in the electromobility industry.

In addition, our tests also support the international approval of your products. Your benefit: With just one single testing and certification procedure, you gain market access in the EU, in EFTA countries and in many Eastern European countries.

Testing drive components for electromobility

Comprehensive conformity and durability testing of your e-drive components

Electrified drivetrains contain many components with complex electrical and electronic systems. They all must have the highest reliability and durability possible. This is all the more relevant as electric drives are increasingly finding their way into commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, rail technology, maritime ship technology and aircraft – areas where the failure of individual components before the end of their planned service life must not be allowed to occur.

As a developer or supplier of e-mobility drive components, you are literally responsible for moving your industrial clients and end users forward. Take this responsibility seriously and have our experts test your products for conformity, reliability, and durability. Improve your market position with test reports from our renowned laboratories.

Testing measuring equipment for electromobility

Recording energy flows with consistency, accuracy and in compliance

Whether private wall boxes, public charging stations or company HPC stations for commercial vehicles, ships, trains, or aircraft: They all require the safe, precise, reliable, and compliant measurement of the transferred energy amount at the interface between power grids and electromobility where mobility sources its energy.

The path to smart grids with bidirectional charging and interconnection of decentralized electricity storage systems will also only be possible with highly advanced measuring equipment.

As a developer or supplier of smart meter gateways and modern digital measuring devices with and without communication unit, you supply the requisite technology.

With our globally recognized independent test reports, you provide verification of the compliance and advantages of your products. Benefit from the expertise of our specialized laboratories and our readily available testing capacities to ensure that your products are as highly regarded by your customers as they deserve to be.

Testing IT, telecommunications, audio, and video products for electromobility

Figure about market access for audio and video products for e-mobility

Compliant communication technology from assistance systems to entertainment

The prevalence of assistance systems in electromobility and the rapidly growing range of their functions requires various sensor technologies and, above all, powerful camera systems. On the other end of the spectrum, passengers in electric vehicles and electrically powered trains, ships and aircraft often want audio and video systems for work and entertainment.

As a supplier or developer of IT, telecommunications or audio and video products for electromobility and possibly the associated software, our tests and test marks allow you to provide your customers in the industry with the verification of numerous features they expect.

We can also support you as a developer or supplier of such technologies with development-related tests, environmental and climate tests, assembly tests, durability tests, reviews of the quality of instruction manuals and much more. The verification of the sustainability of your products, for example through the Green Product Mark, the Energy Efficiency label, or the Eco-Design label, adds to our testing services.

We offer:

  • Development support & technical preparation
  • Product testing & conformity assessment
  • Training & workshops
  • Technical documentation review, and
  • Other services by individual arrangement

With our wide-ranging experience in testing IT, telecommunications, audio and video products for electromobility, we offer you a comprehensive service from one single source.
