RISE offers testing and certification of IoT devices according to cybersecurity requirements from the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and the Swedish Theft Prevention Association SSF‎.

IoT devices are consumer products that anyone can have in their home and that can connect to the internet. Examples include smart TVs, home assistants, smart speakers, connected household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, connected alarm systems, digital door locks, smoke detectors or baby monitors.

These products have become part of our daily life and although they help us in many daily routines, they can compromise our privacy and security if not designed correctly. Security standards such as ETSI EN 303 645 and SSF 1120-1 contain requirements on cybersecurity aspects that the product needs to meet, ensuring a higher level of security.

With the increasing use of internet-connected products in the home, the likelihood of cyber-attacks is increasing. It is important that the product is developed and tested correctly to withstand such attacks. The ETSI EN 303645 standard defines the basic requirements for IoT products throughout the product life cycle such as the design, development, manufacturing, use and maintenance phases.

Testing IoT devices against the ETSI EN 303645 standard assesses whether the product meets the general cybersecurity requirements of the standard and testing against the SSF 1120-1 standard tests whether the product can withstand an attack through penetration testing.

The evaluation is based on methods accredited by Swedac for the standards:

• ETSI EN 303 645
• SSF 1120-1

The test against the standard is advantageously complemented by a penetration test that RISE can offer as a separate service. Here you find our penetration test offer. 

The results of the RISE evaluation are compiled in an accredited RISE report.

RISE in Mölndal conducts research and development of textile fibres, with a special focus on material transition for a sustainable development. Melt spinning poses certain requirements on the material, including high temperature stability and suitable flow properties. We can evaluate the spinnability of newly developed materials.

Melt spinning is the most commonly used industrial fibre spinning method. It’s great advantage is that the method requires only heat, no solvents, to transform polymers into a melt which can be extruded and drawn into thin fibres.

Globally, there is at present a rapid development of thermoplastics from biobased and recycled feedstocks, and consequently melt spinning will be increasingly useful to produce environmentally sustainable textile fibres.

The fibre spinning expertise RISE can support material producers by performing evaluation of the spinnability of new polymer materials. This evaluation requires only small amounts of polymer (approx. 100 grams) and is suitable also for R&D materials.

If the material is found to have good spinnability, larger scale trials and pilot fibre production can be carried out in our equipments for lab-scale and/or semi-industrial fibre spinning.

Several material properties are relevant for spinnability, and our evaluation includes characterisation of:

• Degradation temperature, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
• Melting point and degree of crystallinity, measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
• Composition analysis, for example by FTIR
• Flow properties (shear viscosity and extensional viscosity) as a function of shear rate and temperature, as measured in a capillary rheometer (Netzsch RH10)
• Melt strength as a function of take-up rate, measured in a capillary rheometer
• Small scale extrusion of monofilaments, in capillary rheometer
• Mechanical characterisation of fibres, by tensile testing

There is currently a transition from fossil-based materials to products based on renewable materials. This transition has led to a need to control the proportion of a material that comes from renewable sources, i.e. is biogenic. We can offer C 14 / Carbon 14 analysis of various materials such as fuels, plastics and chemicals.

As one of the few commercial laboratory in Europe, we have the opportunity to offer accredited C 14 analysis for determination of fossil / biogenic content. To measure a materials biobased content, the only general way is to measure the proportion of the sample's carbon consists of the isotope C 14, i.e. the ratio of the radioactive and stable isotopes of carbon. The method is also suitable for determining C-14 when isotope-labeled substances are used in tracer experiments, for example in studies of drug metabolism. In addition to the analysis service itself, we can also assist with guidance and problem solving.

The sample is incinerated and the formed carbon dioxide is collected. The content of 14C16O2 is determined in an IR spectrometer with extreme sensitivity and selectivity.

The measurement is performed according to ASTM D6866, with the modification that we use an IR technology (Saturated Cavity Ringdown - SCAR) instead of one of the methods mentioned in the standard.

The work include both accredited and non-accredited testing methods. The scope of accreditation is available upon request – please feel free to contact us for more information.

Take advantage of experience of failures in your pipe system. Gain knowledge so that you do not repeat old mistakes and use bad design solutions. In addition, you need to know the status of your pipe system, so you can assess when different parts need to be replaced.

Gain knowledge about the causes of failures in your pipe system. The knowledge is useful to improve the pipe system, find out the status of your pipe system or determine which party caused the failure. A failure investigation is about finding out if the cause is due to poor design solutions, defective components, installation errors, external damage, or age. Failures in pipe systems are often related to joints between pipes and pipe parts but can also be due to that the pipes are worn out. Cast iron pipes are exposed to corrosion and after many years of operation, the material thickness can become very thin locally. Polymers in plastic pipes also age and can degrade after long-term usage.

Knowledge gives you the opportunity to improve your pipe system, by being able to make better choices when parts are to be replaced or the system is to be expanded. By gaining knowledge about the status of the pipe system, you can better plan your maintenance and replace components in time. Often the purpose of a failure investigation can be to clarify the issue of liability. RISE performs independent failure investigations of pipes and fittings made of plastics and metal.

Initially, we compile the information about the failure that the customer has. This concerns how the component had been installed in the pipe system, position of leakage, make, operating conditions, age and any protocols kept during installation. After that an ocular inspection follows and possibly a pressure test if we need to determine the position of the leakage.

Then a specific investigation is initiated related to the type of component and failure. Is there a standard that the component should have met upon delivery? We assess whether the component met current requirements and specifications upon delivery. This often means that we measure the component geometrically and take out test specimens to do destructive testing. When welded joints are investigated, it is often also a question of destructive testing, but analysis of fracture surfaces with a microscope can also be considered.

Conditions and conclusions of our investigation are compiled in a written report.
