Insulation defects represent one of the primary technical concerns in devices powered by low voltage, as they can cause short-circuits, electric shocks, or fires. The proper design of insulating barriers must be validated through precise measurements that simulate electrical stress conditions exceeding normal operation, identifying potential vulnerabilities before market placement.
INTEK’s service includes insulation testing and dielectric strength testing (applied voltage testing) in compliance with major international standards (such as EN 62368 and EN 61010). By applying high voltages and measuring insulation resistance, our laboratories verify that no surface discharges or insulation breakdown occur. These tests allow for the precise mapping of product behavior under load, ensuring that creepage and clearance distances are adequate for the declared insulation class.
Performing these laboratory tests drastically reduces costs arising from potential product recalls and failures during final certification phases. The efficiency guaranteed by professional measurements accelerates the market access process, providing manufacturers with the objective technical data needed to demonstrate the electrical safety of their devices and full compliance with the essential requirements of the LVD Directive..
