Is Your Product Compliant? Our accredited software evaluation services help ensure your product complies with the latest safety standards. It is MANDATORY to evaluate software controlling safety features.
As our world becomes more connected by technology, most products now incorporate software capabilities, many controlling operational and safety functions. This evolution leads to new safety, quality, and validation requirements which you might not have previously experienced. Most standards now include specific clauses setting out mandatory software evaluation requirements.
Third-party software evaluation by an accredited testing company, such as Intertek, is required in order to comply with product legislation and directives. Third party evaluation is also required where a product requires certification.
Intertek can evaluate your software procedures to ensure your product complies with safety standards and check the special measures which control fault/error conditions. Our global network of software experts offer complete lifecycle support for manufacturers and are accredited assessors for IEC/EN 607030-1, IEC/EN 60355-1, IEC/EN 298, EN 54, EN 50271, and more.
