Electrical safety test laboratory

Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED)

The LVD (Low Voltage Directive), issued by the European Union, describes the duties of importers and manufacturers, such as CE labelling, as well as the obligation to fulfil the electrical safety requirements for devices. These apply to appliances with a rated voltage of between 50 and 1,000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1,500 V for direct current. The safest and most common way to determine electrical safety is to test the appliance against the relevant product standard. For manufacturers who sell devices below the voltage limit of the LVD, the LVD procedure can be used to fulfil the “Produktsicherheitsgesetz” (ProdSg).

The RED (Radio Equipment Directive) is also issued by the European Union and sets out the essential requirements for radio equipment to ensure that it can be operated safely and efficiently and to ensure the proper functioning of the electromagnetic spectrum. It also includes electrical safety and EMC testing, which Treo offers as a service. For manufacturers, radio modules that are purchased as such usually already fulfil the requirements of the RED. When the product is launched on the market, it is therefore often only necessary to carry out the supplementary tests for the entire device in accordance with RED. As a testing service provider, we specialise in identifying the necessary requirements for your product and supporting you in selecting the appropriate test programme.

Electrical safety is an important issue in every area of application. The protection of people is crucial. So that you can guarantee this protection for your devices, we offer you various test packages in which we turn this safety to our joint priority. As a test laboratory, we specialise in precisely these applications and look forward to supporting you.
