Power tools testing

Power tools testing is the process by which TÜV SÜD experts evaluate power tools to ensure their safety, reliability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. This evaluation entails mechanical products testing and electrical products testing, which examine the tools' functionality under various conditions and stresses.

For smart, digitised tools, power tools testing may also include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. This ensures that the device can operate without causing electromagnetic interference or suffering disturbance from it.

Power tools carry inherent risks because of their high-power output, complex mechanics, and exposure to electrical currents. Power tools testing and certification ensure that these products meet strict safety standards. This will reduce the likelihood of mishaps and injuries during use.

Mechanical and electrical product testing are critical steps in the manufacturing process. They help confirm the reliability and durability of these tools, consequently enhancing the brand's reputation and customer’s trust.
