In application of European Directives (Medical devices, Low Voltage, Machine, etc.), electrical or electronic products and devices must satisfy a number of standard requirements in order to guarantee the safety of both property and individuals, as regards electrical, mechanical, thermal and fire risks. For this purpose, LNE Laboratory is eager to guide you in determining the services you'll need to satisfy such requirements.
Electrical and electronic products or equipment may pose risks to people and property (electric shock, fire, mechanical hazards, etc.). The application of safety standards allows the effectiveness of the device’s protective measures to be assessed.
As part of the CE marking process, compliance with harmonised standards provides a presumption of conformity with the requirements of applicable directives and regulations. To assess compliance with these standards, LNE offers both testing services and documentation reviews.
To anticipate potential non-conformities, LNE recommends familiarising yourself with the regulatory framework as early as the product design phase and conducting pre-tests throughout development.
Our team of electrical safety experts, actively involved in various technical and standardisation committees, is ready to assist with safety-related or market access issues for your electrical or electronic products, whether intended for the medical, household, or industrial sectors.
Whatever the stage in your product’s lifecycle (R&D, design, industrialisation, upgrade/modification), LNE offers a comprehensive range of services to meet your needs, whether through technical assistance or testing:
