ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC): EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY
Modern hedge trimmers, whether battery-powered or corded, incorporate sophisticated electronic components. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing is essential to verify that the equipment does not generate electromagnetic interference that could affect other devices and, at the same time, remains immune to external interference. Ente Certificazione Macchine is a Testing Laboratory (No. 121697) accredited by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (PJLA) in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. At our laboratory, specialized technicians perform precise measurements to ensure that every electronic component operates stably, preventing malfunctions that could compromise user safety during operation.
VIBRATION TESTING: HEALTH PROTECTION
Prolonged exposure to mechanical vibrations is one of the primary risks for regular hedge trimmer users. ECM conducts rigorous tests on vibrations transmitted to the hand-arm system, in compliance with harmonized standards. Using advanced sensors, we measure the acceleration levels generated by the blades and the motor. These tests enable manufacturers to certify the levels stated in the user manual, helping to prevent occupational diseases and improving the tool’s overall ergonomics.
ECM: YOUR PARTNER FOR CE MARKING
Ente Certificazione Macchine offers a comprehensive suite of testing and conformity assessment services. From electromagnetic compatibility verification to vibration measurement, every stage of the certification process is managed with maximum transparency. Thanks to our technical support, companies can bring hedge trimmers to market that are safe, competitive, and fully compliant with current legal requirements, ensuring reliability for their end customers.
