Testing of Information Technology and Audio-Visual Equipment
This is a fast paced, high tech sector where products have evolved considerably over the years and we can test for safety and EMC
This is equipment, systems, components and sub-assemblies which use digital techniques for signal processing, computation, display, storage, data processing, switching, control, and telecommunication.
IT applies to many products, audio-visual equipment and multi-media equipment, but some products that do not contain IT may not be subject to the same rules and regulations.
In the last decade, IT has had a phenomenal impact on productivity, education, society and our personal lives and to maintain this development, it is important to make sure that IT equipment is safe to use and characterised according to where it is used.
Most products with IT and Audio-Visual will require EMC and electrical safety testing.
It is worth noting, that as of December 2020 BS EN / IEC 60950-1 and BS EN / IEC 60065 will be withdrawn and replaced by BS EN / IEC 62368-1, the new standard for Information Technology Equipment (ITE) and Audio/Video Equipment. This new standard covers both ITE and audio/video, because as technology has developed, it has become harder to distinguish the difference between the two. It also covers components, and therefore even a power supply must be compliant with BS EN / IEC 62368.
