What are the services offered by the Qualification Lab ?
- Regulation help, Risk analysis required for CE marking in Radio, EMC, BT or Atex directives. International approach for USA and Canada…
- EMC tests soon accredited ISO17025: Emission and Immunity in Automotive, Military, Aeronautic, Railway, IoT, Consumer, Medical, Measurement devices…
- Radio tests soon accredited ISO17025 for IoT : LoRa, Sigfox, BT, Wifi...
- Electrical Safety tests, mainly EN61010-1 measurement and industrial devices, EN62368-1 audio/video, information and communication technology equipment.
- In line annual control required on mass production for ECE R10 regulation (automotive)
- Obsolescence quick service: qualification of alternate references by optimization of required test plan and internal tests.
Why Qualification Lab by éolane instead of external test lab ?
- Availability provided by a priority management for our customers. Reduction of delay down to 2 weeks versus 6 to 8 weeks on external labs.
- The single French EMS able to qualify and efficiently improve EMC and radio performance of developments.
- EMC expert available for development in all phases from RAO to qualification. Partial and focused de-risking phases to optimized delay and avoid redesign due to non-conformity.
- Cost reduction of mass production design by testing improvement in the design.
Example of regulation help:
- Optimization of naming of devices of a family range to reduce cost registration in USA for FCC rules.
- Use of military or automotive tests to justify conformance to some requirements for CE marking.
- Choice of standard required for CE marking and automotive regulation on a radio device used both in train and buses.
Example of Tests performed by Qualifcation Lab:
- Main equipment’s: big Farady cage : 8.3x5.5 m with Rhode& Schwarz ESW26 : 26GHz receiver with time domain scan (1000 x faster than classical receiver) and all required antennas
- EN300220 for LoRa or other short range device for RED directive qualification
- EN300328 for BT or Wifi device for RED directive qualification
- CISPR 25 tests for ECE R10 for all Automotive ESA : Electrical/electronic sub-assembly
