The number of wireless devices we use on a daily basis is growing exponentially. Automotive components, wearables, medical devices, consumer electronics – all might use wireless technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to process information. Manufacturers implemented wireless technologies into their products are now facing an increased need for certification/homologation before they are able to launch their products. In this process, the biggest challenge for manufacturers still exists: Who can help me with a global certification strategy?
There is no single certification program which gives manufacturers the possibility to certify a product globally.
CETECOM certifies to international and local standards for a wide range of industries and technologies – whether you are looking for a regulatory approval or the approval of a private certification regime. We can perform the necessary tests and manage the entire certification process from start to finish, helping you get your product into its target markets quickly.
The CE marking is mandatory to bring a product to the EU market. By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer asserts that the product complies with the relevant European product compliance rules.
