testing & CE
Functional testing and verification
I have my own small production line for prototype series (and small series), that is a p&p robot and a reflow oven. This allows for rapid prototyping from substrate to assembled pcba to be used for initial and early tests. As I have my own robot i offer very small series, in stead of 10-20-50 boards which is the minimum number major manufacturers are interested in. I can assemble single boards. Then this/these can be evaluated – and changed – without the stress which often occurs due to the manufacturer wanting to keep the p&p robot buzy. When the assembled board is verified – and possibly changed – I can assemble additional boards, up to a few hundred boards.
Firstly the board is tested – and if necessary modified – until it all works as intended and expected. Performance is fulfilled and temperature limits are verified, in high as well as low temperature.
Certification tests
In preparation for certification tests there is a lot that can be checked. I have often checked and when needed built simple test equipment for specific tests such as ESD immunity, Surge immunity and radiated immunity.
I often take part it certification tests partly in order to advice what tests are relevant and how should they be conducted, as well as ad hoc changes in order to fulfill the requirements and pass each test.
When encountering major difficulties and problems I have a vast experience from what measures are effective and what can be introduced without major changes to the design or properties on the dut. I also do relative measurements in order to verify improved – and kept – performance and properties after changes are made, before the certification tests are resumed. This often means that major costs and time is saved.
