What if there is no suitable test method for the product?

WHAT IF THERE IS NO TEST METHOD APPROPRIATE FOR MY PRODUCT?
  • The customer can create and describe his own test method.
  • Then the SERTIKA test laboratory assesses whether it can perform those tests and, after a positive decision, we perform the tests and issue a test report in a non-accredited area.

Example for determining test method and compliance conditions:

What should we do if we want to make sure that the appliance works properly at a specific ambient temperature, and there are no applicable safety standards for that appliance and our test according to the domestic appliance standard EN 60335-1 is not suitable?

The SERTIKA test laboratory can offer to simulate different temperatures in the climatic chamber, but the product manufacturer should define what would be the correct operation of the device when it is placed in the climatic chamber at a specific temperature. This is where the importance of the method becomes apparent, as it is necessary to specifically define the conditions of compliance, i.e. as seen in this example, it is necessary to define what to treat as proper operation of the device.
