Laboratories and certifications
AEC testing laboratory internally tests and verifies the safety, quality and the performance of all production.
Laboratory tests are carried out under WMT (Witnessed Manufacture’s Testing), with the assistance of a qualified and constantly trained staff.
The tests are executed with the close supervision of UL (Underwriters Laboratory) staff. The fitting quality is also guaranteed by regular inspections.
IP test (powder test)
The powder degree is indicated in the first number of the IP code (5 or 6). Once the thermal level is reached, the fitting is lit and placed into the testing powder room. Fans circulate powder inside the room. The testing room operator then turns off the fitting to let it cool while the powder remains suspended in the atmosphere.
IP test (water test)
Fittings, protected against powerful water jets (depending on the 6 protection degree), are turned off and immediately subjected to multiple water jets at all directions, in order to test infiltrations and mechanical resistance.
Saline room test
The mechanical parts are tested in a saline room to ensure durability in marine or high pollution environments.
IK test
Impact tests verify the protection of internal parts against vandalism. Both the protective glass and the aluminum body guarantee a IK08 protection degree. The test is carried out to prove that a given impact energy does not damage the tested fitting (reducing safety distances, component damage, inaccessibility, etc).
A steel “hammer” of a specific weight and geometry is dropped from a given height to impact the tested body.
Failure test
The purpose of this test is to guarantee the final user safety in case of system failure. Some critical components are damaged on purpose and brought to abnormal conditions in order to make sure the absence of damages to goods and/or people.
Thermal test
The device is positioned inside an environment chamber where a constant temperature is maintained. The test allows verification that the temperature of each component does not exceed safety limits.
Isolation test
The device and its components are submitted to a conditioning cycle in the climatic room, after which the insulation resistance is measured by means of the application of a high voltage.
Electromagnetic compatibility test
The electromagnetic compatibility test, carried out in dedicated external laboratories, validates the electronic performances in terms of immunity to interferences and reduced electromagnetic emissions towards the atmosphere.
