What Does Your Product Need?

Automotive components and aftermarket parts sold in Europe must meet UNECE regulations and EU type approval requirements. Testing spans mechanical performance, environmental endurance, electromagnetic compatibility, and chemical substance compliance. Components destined for electric vehicles face additional testing for high-voltage safety and battery performance.

Construction products sold in the EU must carry CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This requires testing against harmonised European standards (hENs) for properties like fire reaction, mechanical resistance, thermal performance, and durability. The specific tests depend on the product type and its intended use in the built environment.

Consumer electronics entering the European market must pass electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, electrical safety evaluation, and chemical substance screening under RoHS and REACH. Products range from smartphones and laptops to IoT devices and wearables. The testing programme typically combines several EU directives, each with its own set of harmonised standards.

Food and beverage products in the EU must meet strict safety requirements under the General Food Law and sector-specific regulations. Testing covers microbiological safety, chemical contaminant analysis, allergen detection, nutritional labelling verification, and food contact material compliance. Accredited laboratory testing provides the evidence base for HACCP programmes and regulatory submissions.

Medical devices sold in the European Economic Area must meet stringent safety and performance requirements under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Manufacturers need accredited testing across biological safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental durability to demonstrate conformity. The testing programme depends on the device’s risk class (I, IIa, IIb, or III) and its intended use.
