Basic Testing Provides Essential Info About Product

13. Jan 2025

As a manufacturer or importer, you need to be sure that your product meets the requirements of the relevant directives. In Finland, electrical products are supervised by the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes), which tests hundreds of electrical devices annually. Defective products may have to be removed from the market or importers may be obliged to collect them back from users. Recall procedures are expensive and may cause serious damage to your company's reputation.

SGS Fimko's basic testing is a quick and affordable way to obtain information about the safety of your electrical products. Basic testing includes a few critical tests that can help you determine whether your product is likely to have safety deficiencies. SGS Fimko's experts know the safety requirements of your product and know how to select the inspections and tests that are critical for it. You can quickly identify potential safety deficiencies in your product and assess its marketability.

Ordering basic testing is easy! You can deliver your product to SGS Fimko's Helsinki warehouse without prior reservation. You can attach the order with the product or send it by email to orders.fimko@sgs.com. You will receive a Finnish report of the test results by email. English or Swedish version of the report is available at extra fee.

Although basic testing helps to detect probable safety deficiencies in the product, products imported into Finland and the EU must meet the requirements of all relevant directives. In addition to the Low Voltage Directive, electrical products are almost invariably subject to at least the EMC and RoHS directives.
