Electrical safety testing of electronic / electrical equipment
TRaC can provide electrical safety testing for electronic / electrical products to meet the growing needs for worldwide compliance:
- Safety testing and certification of electrical and electronic equipment to International and European safety standards
- Pre-compliance evaluations that identify problem areas early in the design stage, to reduce the need for potentially expensive modifications
- Component and flammability testing
TRaC accreditations for electronic / electrical products include:
- UKAS. The United Kingdom Accreditation Service is the UK national accreditation body that is recognised by the UK government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, the organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services. TRaC is accredited by UKAS to IEC/ISO 17025.
- CB. TRaC can provide CB test reports and certificates to IEC 60950-1, IEC 60950-22, IEC 60065, IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-081 and IEC 61010-2-101. Read more about CB Certification »

Component safety testing
Due to the modular nature of design, many products incorporate component modules as part of an overall product. TRaC is able to offer Component Safety testing for such modules to reduce costs and increase the marketing potential of the component module itself.
In this way TRaC can help you to meet regulatory and non-regulatory requirements and ensure compliance of your end products that use these individual components.
Components can be certified under the CB scheme, or application for the European Norm Electrical Certification (ENEC) mark. The ENEC conformity mark is based on harmonised European safety standards for specific product ranges. TRaC can offer the ENEC mark for IT Equipment to EN60950-1. This mark indicates that products have been independently certified and includes factory inspection and ongoing surveillance.
Alternatively, you can use a TRaC test report to self declare compliance under the Low Voltage Directive.
Flammability Testing
Both components and materials have to be tested for flammability. Some components/materials can be sourced pre-assessed against standards such as UL94. Where this is not the case, TRaC is able and accredited to perform flammability tests.
TRaC is accredited to perform flammability tests against the following standards:
