Certification for product safety of electrical equipment is required in most countries where EMC requirements also exist. For example, the FCC regulates RF emissions in the United States and OSHA regulates product safety in the workplace. In Europe, most electrical and electronic products must comply with both EMC and product safety standards to legally display the CE mark. A broad range of product safety requirements exist, depending on the type of product, the environment in which the product will be operated, and the country where you intend to sell the product.
Standards cover hazards relating to a product's use of electricity.
Standards cover hazards resulting from a product's being exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Some products that fall outside of this description may also require compliance. At Elliott, we will work with you to develop the best plan and process for addressing your specific product safety needs, from early prototype layout, to pre-testing and agency compliance testing, until submittals and agency liaison.
