Element supports you through the certification process for several key regulatory and voluntary radio type approvals and certifications. We test, certify, and approve your products for international markets, delivering faster certification and reduced cost through effective project management. 

What is radio type approval testing – and why do you need it? 

Radio type approval is a regulatory process that ensures radio frequency devices meet specific technical standards and regulations. During the process, devices are checked at a range of frequencies, to see that they operate safely and efficiently, without interfering with other networks. Approval requires comprehensive documentation and devices are rigorously assessed for factors like electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency emissions. For customers, this provides reassurance that the radio product they purchase has been tested in a standardized way, to rigorous quality standards. For manufacturers, this testing is a vital part of adhering to required standards – particularly if you hope to enter global markets.
