Manufacturing standards

A number of different standards or manufacturing standards are used for the testing and certification of power supplies. These standards are divided into standards for electrical safety and standards for EMC or radiodistrubances. Over the time older standards are substituted for new standards making it easier in terms of testing and safety. The standards listed below comprises the most common standards for electrical safety and EMC relating to power supply products within our product program.
