Electrical Components
TUV Rheinland UK can provide testing and certification services for components and subassemblies. Component approvals play a great importance in the safety end use product. For example, circuit-breakers have to disconnect the equipment from the power in case of short-circuit, fault condition or overload. Components for household appliances, office equipment or audio/video equipment tested by TUV Rheinland UK make a valuable contribution to safety.
Our test marks show that the component has been inspected by an impartial organization and has been found compliant with the required safety standards.
Manufacturer Test Programs
TUV Rheinland UK has launched two programs, TMP and SMT, to improve service by providing clients with more convenient ways to have products evaluated and included in all certification programs. The suitable program for any client depends on the resources available to the client and number of products to be evaluated annually. Below is a brief description of each program.
The program can also be offered as part of the CB Sheme.
TMP (Testing at Manufacturer's Premises)
This is ideal for manufacturers with test laboratories having adequate resources for conducting product evaluations. Testing will be performed by TUV Rheinland UK personnel with the help from the manufacturers personnel. Non-compliance issues can be resolved on the spot rather than later, which saves time and costs.
SMT (Supervised Manufacturer Testing)
This is ideal for manufacturers test laboratories having adequate resources for conducting product evaluations and where a substantial number of products are evaluated each year. This program requires an initial audit and subsequent surveillance audits. Witness testing normally required as part of the program. Following the initial witness testing, the manufacturer provides TUV Rheinland UK with test data, which is then reviewed with a sample of the product.
