Electrical Testing for Automotive Components

WHY AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS TESTING IS IMPORTANT?

Following are the key benefits for testing of Electrical & Electronic components in vehicles:

  • Providing safety of automotive electrical & electronics Components  by demonstrating compliance to applicable standards
  • Clarifying market access of electrical & electronic components by meeting relevant country standards (e.g. EU Low Voltage and Machinery Directives and EMC Directives etc)
  • Saving time & money as well
  • Meeting end-user quality expectations for vehicle electrical & electronics Components.
