If one element fails to function, the rest will follow
As an end-user you want to avoid personal injury of your clients and employees, prevent loss of energy supply which affects your operations or, even worse, a business consumed by fire. But can you be sure that the tailor-made panel or motor control centre that is delivered to you meets the optimum safety level? And do you have the extensive knowledge and time needed to verify this? As an underwriter you want to assure that the object you cover meets an acceptable risk level. Both high frequencies of smaller incidents as well as risk involving substantially insured projects have your attention. The question is: have you made optimum use of what testing and certification has to offer? As a regulator you want to control the power supply and protect people and assets. You want to avoid accidents and power outages and therefore you define the specifications for applications connected to the grid. But each installation connected to the network comes with a different risk. How can testing and certification serve your purpose? As an original panel system manufacturer you want customers to be satisfied about your products. Your products fit a certain marketing “mix”. Safety and compliance with standards are an integral part of this. Therefore there is a need to control the whole chain from production to end use. “Arm” your local assembly operations with the written evidence of KEMA testing & certification. KEMA hands you the tools to distinguish your product and to access those (niche-) markets out there! As an assembly manufacturer you want to deliver a tailor-made panel assembly that meets customers requirements and also complies with legal requirements set by regulators in different national markets. You want to make clear to regulators, original panel system manufacturers, consultants and end-users that you are a reliable player in this field, able to transform expectations into reality. You take your role in the chain seriously and seek a way to document your performance. You target those markets that best fit your business expectations. But does the testing and certification of your products help you achieve those goals or is it working against you? As a component manufacturer you have to make sure your products match the needs of assembly manufacturers. Or, one level up, comakership with an original panel system manufacturer. You are well aware that components nearly always end up in a panel of some sorts. But are you aware that your clients can only include the switchgear in the certification of their product if the (switchting) components are individually certified to their own standard? Why not add value your products with KEMA certification to make them more attractive? For more information, contact us. Back to KEMA Panel Services
