Last month we announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art laboratory in Manchester, dedicated to hardlines physical and chemical and connectivity EMC testing. This strategic expansion brings world-class testing capabilities to the heart of the UK, supporting manufacturers and retailers in meeting the highest standards of safety, quality and compliance.
We now have more details about the capabilities of our new hub for industry leading testing:
