Cranage is an Authorised Test Facility for testing and certifying products

Cranage EMC and Safety is a UKAS accredited (No.1833), test laboratory founded 30 years ago. Our purpose built premises are based in North Shropshire, but if your equipment is large or in-situ, we can offer testing at your premises.

We are UKAS accredited to evaluate your product for EMC, electrical safety, environmental, mechanical and energy related performance. Our UKAS accreditation serves as confirmation that we are regularly assessed as technically competent, with accurate, consistent and reliable test methods and results.

As well as our comprehensive testing facilities, we offer a range of services to support the certification of your product and enable entrance to worldwide markets. This includes:

- UKCA for Great Britain
- CE marking for Europe
- ILAC MRA and CB testing for global markets.

The management of product approval requires knowledge, training and experience, and our engineers have over 100 years of combined experience across a range of sectors.

Many of our valued clients have benefitted from our know-how:

- accredited test reports and certificates
- EMC approved body against the EMC regulations
- BIS registered consultant for machinery, conformance and compliance
- Test facility accepted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
- Test facility accepted by the Certification & Engineering Bureau, Ontario (IC)
- Field evaluation by a Chartered Engineer

A test report or certification supplied by Cranage EMC and Safety, endorsed with the Laboratory Combined MRA Mark, provides you with the following benefits:

- Recognition in more than 50 countries worldwide
- Testing to standards relevant to the target economy
- Technical deviations to meet regional and country specific regulations

Cranage EMC and Safety have been evaluating electrical products for 30 years and we have a vast range of experience across several market sectors. We have increased our services and facilities to be able to test a range of electrical products. Examples of some of the industries that we can support are listed below, but if you cannot find what you are looking for please call our team to discuss your project.

Pre-Compliance Testing

Our pre-compliance service allows us to identify issues early in the process, meaning problems are usually cheaper and easier to fix. We use specialised, calibrated equipment that is also used for full compliance, which helps to ensure consistency and accuracy with EMC testing.

Industrial Machinery Testing

Handling small or large electrical machines up to 2 tonnes in weight, Cranage EMC and Safety evaluate compliance against European and International standards and provide documentation for product approval.

Some of the many items we have tested include industrial tools for metalworking, pumps and tank agitators, space heaters, floor scrubbers and polishers, and equipment for counting, printing, labelling and packaging. The main standards that apply for industrial equipment testing are:

- IEC 61000-6-1 Light industrial/commercial (immunity)
- IEC 61000-6-2 Industrial (immunity)
- IEC 61000-6-3 Light industrial/commercial (emissions)
- EC 61000-6-4 Industrial (emissions)
- IEC 61000-4-10 EMC: Testing & measurement techniques- Damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity test
- IEC 61000-4-18 EMC Testing and measurement techniques- Damped oscillatory wave immunity test
- IEC 60947-1 Control Gear
- IEC 61800-3 Power drive systems
- IEC 60204-1 Electrical machines
- BS EN 50370-1 Machine tools (emissions)
- BS EN 50370-2 Machine tools (immunity)
- BS EN 55011 Industrial, Scientific and Medical emissions

Medical Equipment Testing Laboratory

The testing of medical electrical equipment and medical devices is highly regulated due to the potential risk to patients and clinical staff, especially when connected directly to electrical equipment. It is vital that medical equipment is not interfered by other devices in its environment, as this may pose a risk to life. Using a UKAS accredited laboratory for your medical device testing gives manufacturers assurance that the lab has been assessed as technically competent with consistent and reliable test methods and results. Cranage EMC and Safety has a comprehensive UKAS schedule, including the main medical device standards IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2. These are recognised throughout the world as the main standards for medical device compliance and our expert engineers specialise in Class I, IIa and IIb medical electrical equipment with type B, BF and CF applied parts.

We have previously tested a vast range of medical devices, including hospital beds, prosthetic limbs, ultrasound devices, patient monitors and pulse oximetry. This in not an exhaustive list, so please get in touch with our specialist team to discuss your requirements.
