Safety testing

TRaC Safety Group is fully accredited to meet the growing needs for worldwide safety testing and compliance and provides:

• 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

TRaC accreditations 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. 
• IECEE. This accreditation allows TRaC to perform within the CB scheme and CCA scheme to provide the largest possible market access from a safety regulation point of view. The accreditation is based on IEC/ISO 17025 and covers both Safety and EMC testing services.
• Intertek BEAB. This is the leading independent body for electrical safety.

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.

Lightning Strikes and Surge Testing

TRaC provide NEBS testing (Network Building Systems Equipment) for manufacturers who sell their equipment to the US Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and includes companies such as Bellsouth, SBC and Verizon or any Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC). In addition, suppliers to other US markets may also be asked if their equipment is NEBS compliant because many distributors use these requirements as part of their procurement specifications.

Thermal, Humidity and Vibration Testing

TRaC provides UKAS accredited (ref. 0971) thermal and humidity testing and is able to evaluate equipment to European and international environmental standards. In addition TRaC can offer bespoke testing to customer’s specifications and purchase requirements.
