KingPo Eurofins IEC 60335 Test Equipment Delivered to Finland
Espoo, Finland — Jun 2023 —A complete set of high-precision IEC 60335 test equipment has been successfully delivered and fully commissioned at Eurofins Finland laboratory. This strategic collaboration further strengthens Eurofins’ position as one of Europe’s most respected and trusted providers of electrical safety testing and certification services for household and similar electrical appliances.
Project Background and Strategic Importance
Eurofins is a globally recognized leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) services, operating an extensive network of state-of-the-art accredited laboratories. The Finland facility specializes in rigorous evaluation of electrical safety, environmental performance, and product compliance, serving manufacturers across Europe and international markets with the highest levels of technical integrity.
In recent years, the rapid advancement of smart home appliances, combined with continuously evolving regulatory requirements, has placed greater demands on testing laboratories. Eurofins required advanced systems that could deliver exceptional measurement accuracy, long-term stability, repeatable results, and complete data traceability. After a thorough technical evaluation process, Eurofins selected KingPo as its trusted equipment partner to supply a comprehensive IEC 60335 test equipment solution tailored to its exacting laboratory standards.
The IEC 60335 series constitutes the internationally accepted benchmark for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. It covers critical protection requirements, including safeguards against electric shock, resistance to heat and fire, mechanical durability, abnormal operation conditions, and ingress protection. This delivery equips Eurofins Finland laboratory with the advanced tools necessary to maintain its leadership in safety certification services, providing manufacturers with reliable, efficient, and globally recognized test results.
Delivered Testing Systems
The equipment package was custom-configured to align precisely with Eurofins’ laboratory accreditation requirements and daily operational workflows. The core systems delivered include:
- Needle Flame Test Apparatus: Used to evaluate the flammability and fire resistance of materials and components under simulated fault conditions, in full accordance with IEC 60695-11-5 and relevant clauses of the IEC 60335 series.
- Tracking Index Tester (CTI/PTI): Designed to determine the comparative tracking index and proof tracking index of insulating materials, a critical parameter for assessing resistance to surface electrical tracking in household appliances.
- Leakage Current Tester: High-precision instruments for accurate measurement of leakage current, dielectric strength, and insulation resistance, ensuring robust protection against electric shock as required by IEC 60335.
