Understanding Unique Challenges
Motion-based laboratory equipment presents distinct certification challenges. Our expertise covers:
Mechanical Stability & Durability
We evaluate equipment under various load conditions and extended operation cycles, ensuring your devices maintain safety compliance even during prolonged use. Our testing protocols account for vibration resistance, structural integrity, and mechanical endurance.
Temperature Management
For heated stirrers and temperature-controlled shakers, we conduct comprehensive thermal testing to verify safe operation across all temperature ranges. This includes evaluation of thermal cut-offs, temperature limiting systems, and overall thermal management.
Speed Control Safety
Our certification process thoroughly examines speed control mechanisms, ensuring reliable operation and proper failure mode protection across the full range of specified speeds and loads.
