It is impossible to imagine modern society without electricity. Process industries, hospitals, and entire cities are primarily dependent on just one interconnected infrastructure: the electricity network. What will happen if one vital component in this network fails? This is a nightmare that haunts network operators - not to mention numerous individuals in their homes and offices­. Because power outages result in inconveni-ence, stress, danger and economic loss.

All over the world decision-makers at power companies as well as network owners are doing their utmost to minimize risks while at the same time reducing network management costs. An important and objective tool in this process is testing. If an independent third party judges the quality of a plan, system or component, then that gives assurance. Both the controller of the infrastructure and the customers know that an independent party has conducted tests to ascertain whether or not the reliability promised can be realized.

KEMA has been the independent partner of utilities and component manufacturers for more than seventy-five years now. KEMA has the full confidence of its customers all over the world. A wide range of electricity network components is tested in the KEMA High-Power & High-Voltage laboratories.
