Industrial Market

INTEK supports the industrial sector in validating complex systems, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational resilience to guarantee process safety and continuity even in the most demanding environments.

The industrial market requires products capable of operating continuously, safely, and in compliance with international standards. Electrical panels, drives, automation systems, special-purpose machinery, production line equipment, and devices for complex plants must guarantee consistent performance, robustness, reliability, and tolerance to operational stresses.

INTEK supports manufacturers in the industrial sector with a comprehensive testing approach: electrical and electronic testing, climatic and mechanical testing, electromagnetic compatibility, EMF field measurements, and regulatory assessments. An integrated service that enables manufacturers of industrial machines and systems to certify their products, reduce the risk of non-compliance, and accelerate time-to-market.

Reliable technologies for industrial machinery, systems, and components

Why the industrial market requires advanced testing

The industrial environment is characterized by particularly harsh operating conditions, which require rigorous validation of equipment and components. Among the main critical factors:

  • intense mechanical stresses (vibrations, impacts, shocks)
  • extreme variations in temperature and humidity
  • electromagnetic interference generated by machines, drives, and power systems
  • continuous and often safety-critical duty cycles

To meet these requirements, companies must demonstrate compliance with key technical regulations, including:

  • Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
  • EMC Directive and related product standards
  • RED Directive, when radio modules or integrated systems are present
  • standards for industrial environments and automatic machines (IEC/EN 61800, EN 61439, IEC 61326, etc.)

Thanks to its advanced infrastructure and in-house expertise (including participation in CEI committees), INTEK is the go-to partner for those looking to design and validate devices intended for industrial use.

Testing services for the industrial market

INTEK performs, under one roof, all the main tests required to verify the conformity of industrial products.
Below is a selection of tests particularly relevant to this market.

Electrical and Safety Tests (LVD)

To ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of electrical and electromechanical devices intended for industrial use.

Examples of tests relevant to the industrial sector:

  • Tests on switches, switchgear, components, and industrial equipment (EN 60947-1, -2, -3, -4, -5)
  • Tests on LV switchgear (EN 61439-1 and subsequent parts)
  • IP protection ratings (EN 60529)
  • Tests on variable-speed drives (EN 61800-5-1)
  • Testing of lighting fixtures for industrial environments (EN 60598)
  • Dissipated power verification, tests with resistive/inductive loads, and performance testing

Environmental and Mechanical Testing

To simulate the actual operating conditions of industrial systems and machinery, verifying the robustness, stability, and durability of components.

Among the most requested tests in the industrial sector:

  • Sinusoidal, random, and shock vibrations (IEC/EN 60068-2-6, -27, -64)
  • Impact and bump tests
  • Hot/cold climate, thermal cycles, and hot-humid conditions (IEC/EN 60068-2-1, -2, -14, -30, -78)
  • Salt spray test
  • Glow-wire, material ignition, and flame tests (IEC/EN 60695)
  • IP Testing, including with industrial dusts such as Arizona Dust

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for industrial environments

Industrial facilities are full of sources of interference: inverters, machine tools, power lines, PLCs, sensors, and motor-driven systems.

INTEK performs all required tests for industrial equipment in accordance with:

  • general industrial standards (EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-4)
  • product standards for automation, control, and instrumentation (e.g., IEC/EN 61326, EN 61800-3)
  • emission and immunity tests (ESD, burst, surge, radiated, conducted, flicker, harmonics)

Radio Testing for Connected Systems and IoT

More and more industrial devices are integrating wireless communications (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, IoT networks).

INTEK performs RED testing for radio or combined equipment in accordance with EN 301 489-x, EN 300 328, EN 300 330, EN 300 220, and related standards.

Misure di Esposizione ai Campi Elettromagnetici (EMF)

Le misure EMF sono fondamentali per i prodotti destinati a essere installati in prossimità degli operatori, all’interno di macchine automatiche, sistemi di controllo o apparecchiature industriali che prevedono presenza umana nelle immediate vicinanze.

Esempi di norme applicate:

  • EN 62233
  • EN 62311
  • EN 50364
  • EN 62479
