  • Preliminary Design Review – Remove any question whether a product will meet any EMC emissions requirements, we will perform a pre-scan. This data can not be used for formal approvals but will reduce the likelihood of surprises during the final testing phase.
  • Design Review Our engineers offer you EMC compliance at the early design and prototype stages of your product development. This work can be done at one of our convenient locations or it can be conducted at your facility. This allows you to be part of the process and provides you with a better understanding of the requirements.
  • Testing Capabilities Our technical experts can provide onsite or offsite testing services. F2 Laboratories offers you fully equipped testing laboratories that provide a range of product safety testing for North America, Europe and other international standards and marks.
  • Debugging At F2 Laboratories, not only do we identify the non-compliances found during an evaluation, but we also help you fix the problems. This decreases your turnaround time and gets your products to the market in the timeframe that you need.
  • Documentation Preparation Once we have completed testing, F2 Laboratories can provide you with formal Test Reports and submit all paperwork and documentation to a competent body and, if you prefer, we can also assemble your Technical Construction File (TCF).

It is how most appliance manufacturers authenticate their marketing claims or measure their product’s performance against their competition’s like-models.

F2 is an independent third party testing laboratory with years of engineering experience in the appliance-testing arena. We will work with you to develop a test program to substantiate your marketing claims, or we can test to recognized industry standards or industry programs such as:

  • AHAM – American Home Appliance Manufacturers
