Overview
As part of this service, we test and measure, among other things, mechanical, physical, acoustic, radio, electromagnetic compatibility and electrical parameters for the purpose of assessing the overall user safety of agricultural, horticultural, forestry and food machinery, equipment and components. Verification is based on the requirements of standards and directives declared by the manufacturer. We carry out an initial assessment based on the design documentation provided or/and on measurements taken on a prototype based on harmonised and non-harmonised standards with relevant EU and sectoral legislation. This is to ensure that for instance essential requirements coming from for instance New Legislative Framework directives and other EU law are fulfilled to better protect both consumers and professionals from unsafe products to be placed on the European internal market. One of the aims is to help manufacturers in legal placing agrifood products on EU single market and in CE-marking process. The results obtained can be used in the further process of product labelling, declaration of conformity to affix the CE mark to the device within the scope of EMC, LVD, RED, MD, MR on other NLF directives and regulations.
More about the service
- You provide a functional prototype or test model of your solution, together with any previous analyses of its operation, technical documentation in your possession to help identify the ranges and possibilities of its operation.
- If it is not possible to provide a test object, then the client provides documentation of the test object, identifies where the object is located and makes it available to the team for testing.
- A comprehensive system analysis is carried out, taking into account specific guidelines and expectations. It allows us to determine the necessary scope of preparation of the site and the range, scope of tests to be performed.
- We prepare materials, methods and scopes of testing, focusing on legal documents, standards and directives relating to the tested object and its anticipated scope of operation and impact on the environment.
- A detailed test plan is developed, defining the scope, methodology and schedule of activities. This plan is discussed with the client and approved before the tests start.
- Tests are carried out using professional measuring equipment under operational conditions, as stipulated in the relevant test methodologies. Measurements include both a check of the operation of systems, systems and the object under test, as well as environmental conditions.
The process is flexible and tailored to specific needs, ensuring professionalism and commitment at every stage of our collaboration.
We require a fully functional prototype and complete technical documentation. There are limitations regarding the dimensions and weight of the devices, and some tests may require prior resource reservations. All information is treated confidentially, with the option to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Please be aware of the risk of prototype damage during endurance tests. If the tests need to comply with specific industry standards or regulations, kindly inform us in advance. The timeframe and costs are determined individually based on the scope and complexity of the tests.
We ensure flexibility and professional support at every stage of the testing process, including both physical and virtual analyses. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the details and tailor the service to your unique needs.
