Pre-Compliance Testing
We understand the time and cost of creating a safe product for its intended use and complying with the necessary regulations. Our EMC and safety pre-compliance testing assists in identifying any potential issues early in the design stage, allowing for a more efficient resolution. Pre-compliance testing can help to save money, as modifications can be implemented earlier in the design phase, following prompt testing feedback before full-compliance testing.
It is not unusual for a product to fail initial full-compliance testing, and this can be due to issues such as failing to apply EMC principles in the product design, the use of non-compliant modules, unpredicted interactions among circuit elements, an assumption that the presence of a declaration of conformity on a sub-assembly is enough and not testing the power supply with the full product. Considering and designing for EMC and safety early in the product lifecycle helps to reduce the chances of product malfunction or product recalls.
EMC Pre-compliance testing can be categorised into two main groups: emissions testing and immunity testing. Within each of these, both radiated and conducted tests are carried out.

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.

Lab Equipment Testing
This is equipment which measures, indicates, monitors, tests, controls, inspects or analyses materials or is used to prepare materials. This can be on either a stand alone basis or integrated into a manufacturing process. It may also include in vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment and equipment used for educational purposes in Schools and Colleges.
Light Testing
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)
