Medical Equipment Testing

If you want to import a product from the USA into the UK, we can assess the components to ensure they comply with UK regulations. Our service also includes advice on construction and regulatory requirements to sell your product to the UK market. Product documentation will be reviewed to ensure it is by UK requirements.

EMC is not a legal requirement for products sold on the US market. The FCC regulates radio-frequency emissions, but its standards and equipment authorisations do not comply with European or British regulations. Our compliance engineering team can advise on gaps or shortfalls and recommend appropriate action to meet EMC requirements.

EMC testing of lighting products is required to show that your product will not affect, or be affected by, other products in the same environment. Cranage can offer testing and certification for all types of lighting products, as per Regional and International requirements. In the UK and Europe, the following regulations and Directives apply to lighting equipment used in the home or commercially, although the European Directives will be updated for UK equivalents:

-CE Marking Directive
-Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
-Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC)
-Electromagnetic Fields Directive (EMF)
-Artificial Optical Radiation Hazard Directive (AOR)
-General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)
-Energy Related Products Directive (ErP)
-Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
-Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
-Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
-Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
-Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directive
-UK Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations

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.
