Product Testing
GASTEC at CRE (GaC)
Whatever type of appliance you want us to look at, provided that it is connected with energy and/or combustion, we will have something to offer.
You might be a manufacturer, importer or retailer trying to get CE approval for your appliances (click here if you'd like to download our guide to CE Approval), and here to find out about why CE marking is so important. Alternatively you may have a prototype you need to be tested against a European Norm or other standard, or be looking for a Notified Body to recognise your own test work. We have recently introduced a number of bespoke services specifically to re-assure importers and retailers about quality issues related to products from the Far East, click here for our information sheet.
Obtaining certification to legally sell your product can be complex - why not come in and have a free chat with us - talking through certification face to face can make it clearer.
Trading Standards Officers refer to us on product-related issues (usually quality or fitness-for-purpose).
We have over 50 years’ experience in appliance testing and certification to satisfy regulatory requirements - whatever the fuel: gas, oil, solid fuels, and electricity and also other related components [chimneys, controls etc].
Our range of testing services has grown to include compliance testing, audit testing, bespoke investigations and efficiency testing. Furthermore, our capabilities continue to expand, most recently into emerging technologies - in particular distributed generation.
GaC fully understands the requirements of a wide range of European directives and can assist any company (manufacturer or importer) to interpret these requirements, in particular regarding product compliance. We can assist with:
- Identification of applicable standards
- Technical construction file compilation
- Risk assessment on products
- Full range of technology testing services
