Electrical safety testing and evaluation process

During the evaluation process, we test for typical and abnormal conditions described in the standards to confirm that risks of electric shock and fire do not occur at any point. This assessment helps ensure that the product does not introduce a risk of harm to the user, protecting you and your customer in case of an equipment or controller malfunction.
