Household Appliance Testing
Manufacturers not only have to consider electrical safety but also Electromagnetic Compatibility for household and commercial appliances. Our UKAS accredited testing laboratory evaluates commercial, household and similar electrical appliances for adherence to British, European and International standards.
We offer pre-compliance and compliance testing to help customers gain UKCA / CE Marking or global certification, and where products are large or in-situ we can even test at your premises.
In a fast-paced, competitive environment where manufacturers are continually developing their products, it is vital that the appropriate tests are carried out to ensure not only consumer safety but also product quality.

Other Products and Services from Cranage EMC & Safety Ltd
Type Testing & Screening
Over the years, Cranage has provided a type testing and screening testing service for verifying the safety of electrical fittings that must be CE marked.
These are products which contain components (other than a fuse link, switch or indicator light) and are considered to be electrical equipment covered in the UK by the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 (SI 1994 No. 3260). These types of products are also defined in The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 (SI 1994 No. 1768) as electrical appliances.

Commercial Alarm Testing
This is equipment, systems, and sensors which automatically detect the presence of a fire or intruder, or can raise an alarm manually by human intervention because someone or something is at risk either from social consequences or anti-social behaviour. Included in this category of equipment that we test are products used for controlling access to buildings, theft prevention, CCTV cameras used specifically for security applications, and electronic devices and modules involved with the transmission of an alarm condition, eg. modems.
Industrial Machinery Testing
In Europe, testing requirements for electrical equipment and machinery classified for use as industrial, light industrial or commercial are defined according to their function, where they are used and how they are connected to a power supply network.
Industrial equipment and electrical machines have all got one thing in common- the utilisation of electrical energy. The electrical wiring which makes this possible conducts and radiates electromagnetic energy much like the workings of a radio antenna which is capable of receiving and transmitting electromagnetic waves according to what it is connected to and the electrical charges contained within it. Therefore, unless a machine is a self-contained stand-alone product it doesn’t necessarily follow that it is incapable of producing harmful disturbances when installed on the users’ premises. To accommodate this possibility, conformity assessment procedures for EMC have been developed for ‘apparatus’ and ‘fixed installations’. It also enables the viability of Certificates of Incorporation in lieu of a CE Mark.
