Surge Testing
Type Testing and Screening
Over the years, Cranage has provided a type testing and screening testing service for verifying the safety of electrical fittings that must be CE marked; some of the items tested are shown below.
These are products which contain components (other than a fuse link, switch or indicator light) and are considered to be electrical equipment covered in the UK by the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 (SI 1994 No. 3260). These types of products are also defined in The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 (SI 1994 No. 1768) as electrical appliances.
