Accredited Product Safety Compliance Testing for Global Market Access
At EMC Technologies, we provide electrical safety compliance and testing services that help manufacturers meet mandatory safety requirements and achieve approval for global markets. Our accredited laboratories support products from early design review through to final certification to ensure safety risks are identified, easily assessed and resolved prior to market release.
Our experienced engineers provide end-to-end electrical safety compliance and testing, combining laboratory testing, technical review and certification support for products supplied into Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America and other regulated regions.
Why Electrical Safety Testing is Mandatory
Electrical safety testing is a legal requirement for most electrical and electronic products supplied to regulated markets. Compliance with testing procedures demonstrates that a product has been designed and constructed to minimise risks, including electric shock, fire, overheating and mechanical hazards, under normal use and foreseeable misuse.
Testing is typically required for products which are subject to the Low Voltage Directive, Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS), medical safety regulations and other regional safety frameworks.
Our Core Safety Testing Capabilities
At EMC Technologies, we operate fully accredited electrical safety lab facilities in Sydney and Melbourne, supporting both NATA and A2LA scopes of accreditation.
Our safety testing services include:
- Product safety evaluation against applicable IEC, EN and AS / NZS standards
- RCM and EESS compliance support for Australia and New Zealand
- CE marking safety assessments under the Low Voltage Directive
- Safety inspections, audits and design reviews
- Technical file and documentation review
- Support for certification bodies and regulatory submissions
Our expert team specialises in electrical product compliance and safety engineering, providing practical guidance that aligns safety, EMC and environmental considerations into a single compliance strategy.

FAQs about Product Safety Compliance Testing
What is the IEC 60335 standard?
IEC 60335 is the primary safety standard series for household and similar electrical appliances and covers protection against electrical, thermal, mechanical and fire hazards.
What is the difference between a type test and a production test?
A type test assesses a representative sample for full compliance. Production tests verify ongoing conformity during manufacturing.
What is the IEC standard for electrical appliances?
The IEC standard for most electrical appliances is IEC 60335 series, with additional product-specific parts depending on appliance type.
Does my low-voltage DC device still need safety testing?
Many low voltage products still require electrical safety testing depending on energy levels, charging systems and regional regulations.
How long does a full IEC 62368-1 safety report take?
Full IEC 62368-1 testing and reporting can vary depending on product complexity. However, this typically takes several weeks once samples and documentation are received.
