Lovag-accredited test station is said to be one of few test houses left in Europe and is one of the most advanced testing centres in the world
Schneider Electric has unveiled its new analysis and test laboratory - a recent investment worth over euro69m.
This Lovag-accredited test station is said to be one of few test houses left in Europe and is one of the most advanced testing centres in the world.
Called L2E, this state-of-the-art laboratory makes Schneider Electric one of a select few manufacturers able to offer such extensive testing facilities - ensuring products are safe, of the highest quality and meet required international standards, it claims.
The new facility, which comprises many different test chambers, is based in Grenoble, France, where Schneider Electric is the city's second largest employer.
Since its automation and electrical distribution products involve a number of different technologies and are used in a diverse range of industrial and commercial conditions, high reliability, excellent continuity and safety are essential.
L2E ensures that these requirements are met and appropriate international standards are adhered to from the product development stage through to final qualification and certification.
L2E is part of Schneider Electric Corporate R and D.
It offers complete electrical (low voltage and medium voltage), dielectric, mechanical, climatic, acoustic and EMC testing, as well as metrology services under a Quality Organisation complying with ISO/IEC 17025.
65 engineers work at the laboratory, which turns out 800 test certificates and 1,500 reports each year.
