Surge Protective Device Testing and Certification
The Firewall for Lightning Protection Products
Surge Protective Devices (SPD) are used in electric power supply systems, telecommunications, petroleum, petrochemical, railway and rolling stock transportation, construction, the military, and many other fields that work with electricity. SPDs are also widely used in wind and solar power systems, two relatively new players in the energy arena.
Consequently, opportunities are good and plenty for SPD manufacturers. However, due to a lack of relevant standards, requirements, and congenital limitations on product design and structures, domestic SPD manufacturers are having difficulties in taking the step into international markets.
TÜV Rheinland now cooperates with domestic SPD testing authorities to provide a new SPD testing and certification program. Our experienced team can provide you with fast and comprehensive solutions to help you gain access to international markets.
