Product Safety

Product Safety is probably the most important type of compliance testing you can do for your product. ECMG has been providing product safety certifications on a global level for over 12 years. We can help you achieve certifications and listings with CNCA, UL, CSA, TUV or any of the other international product safety certification agency. In addition to North American product safety certifications, we can also help you acquire compliance certification with international product safety compliance standards, including
CE certifications and CB schemes.

Product Safety Overview:

Product safety requirements are prvelant in markets around the world. Safety standards can vary depending on the type of product a consumer will use, the intended operating environment, and the country where it will be used. Even though there are many variables, most electrical product safety standards are generally broken up into three catagories.

Mechanical Safety: Covers any risks related to the physical characteristics of the product, such as:
  • Pinch points, including exposed roller mechanisms
  • Product height and weight distribution
  • Enclosure openings
  • Sharp edges
  • Fan design
Electrical Safety: Covers any risks related to the product's usage of electricity, such as:
  • Over-voltage and surge tests to ensure that the product will react properly to fault conditions by blowing a fuse or a circuit breaker
  • High potential tests determining the dielectric strength of all primary circuits and isolation from secondary circuits
  • Leakage tests to determine how much current is flowing on the safety ground of your equipment
  • Evaluating potential shock during normal equipment operation or routine maintenance
Environmental Safety: Covers any risks resulting from a product's exposure to extreme environmental conditions, such as:
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Vibration

At ECMG, we work with you every step of the way to identify your product safety needs. We can develop an efficient plan to help with design layout, to testing and data submittal. You can bring your product to ECMG knowing we can take care of any product safety requirements you may have.
