Testing of radio systems

Safe and reliable on the right wavelength – Conformity assessment of radio systems and telecommunications products

Modern mobility is virtually unthinkable without radio-controlled products and telecommunications. Whether electrically powered cars, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, industrial trucks, trains, ships or aircraft – all of these electromobility applications are largely digital devices. New connectivity technologies and concepts are likely to further accelerate this megatrend.

As the functional scope of wireless devices and systems increases, so do the demands on their functional safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and cybersecurity. They must therefore meet the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. Without this verification, the sale and operation of radio remote controlled products and telecommunications terminal equipment is not permitted in the European Union. This applies to devices that can communicate via the Internet, devices with radio links and devices such as smart wearables.

As an accredited test laboratory, we carry out the required conformity assessment procedure for you. You benefit from our short testing times and our many years of experience, and improve your market position by having your products tested.

Partnering with us for the development and approval of wireless components will save you the human capital and material resources required for your own testing capacities and will accelerate your development.

International success for your radio systems

Figure about radio systems testing

Upon request, we will also assist you with international product approvals. This will open markets around the world for your wireless electromobility products.

We will provide you with the exact verification that meets your and your customers' requirements in the various industries involved in electromobility. For example, we offer you:

  • Information on manufacturer verification for compliance with the essential requirements of the RED (conformity assessment procedure)
  • Specification of the radio test series to be conducted in accordance with Annex II & III of the RED
  • Issue of an EU-Type Examination Certificate by the "Notified Body" verifying compliance with the requirements of Article 3 of the Directive
  • Review of the design documentation with preparation of a report in accordance with Annex III of the RED

A wide range of tests for documented conformity

We conduct comprehensive compatibility and quality tests to ensure that your electromobility product meets the requirements of the RED. These include:

  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing
  • Testing on radio systems
  • Testing for electrical safety and protection of health requirements
  • Testing for compliance with interface parameters in accordance with national and international standards as well as manufacturer-specific requirements
  • Compatibility testing and quality testing of analog and digital end devices
  • Testing against international standards and requirements, such as FCC (USA), IC (Canada), Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mexico and Argentina

Benefit from our expertise and obtain all the necessary verifications from one single source. We provide you with information on the RED conformity of wireless systems for mobility.
