IT equipment and power supplies testing

The global market for information technology equipment is expansive, encompassing products like PCs, printers, displays, industrial computers, and information terminals. Manufacturers face intense pressure to innovate, driving rapid development cycles.

However, IT and power supply products must comply with safety and regulatory requirements before reaching the market. Key regulatory standards include CE marking in the EU, OSHA requirements in the United States, SCC standards in Canada, and CCC certification in China.

Typical requirements in these regulations include radio protection (Radio Equipment Directive or RED), electrical safety (Low Voltage Directive or LVD), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC Directive), and energy efficiency (Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directive and Regulation).

To fulfil these requirements, these products require comprehensive testing, inspection, and, in some cases, certification. TÜV SÜD stands ready to support you by testing, inspecting, and certifying your products and processes by both national and international standards.

Shifting market demands, evolving customer needs, and stringent regulatory requirements are driving changes in IT equipment and power supplies. The complexity is further compounded by the diverse regulations across global markets.

It is crucial to reassure both regulators and customers that your IT equipment and power supplies are safe, efficient, and of high quality. Complying with safety and quality regulations is essential for accessing significant markets, safeguarding your brand's reputation, and minimizing the risk of product recalls and costly litigation.
