We perform accredited testing of radio characteristics for type approval in the EU, USA and Canada and verify and analyse various radio communication equipment requirements.

In order to place a radio product on the European market, it must be CE marked according to the Radio Directive (RED). Among other things, the essential requirement "effective use of spectrum" must be met.

One way to meet this requirement, is to perform testing according to the organization's ETSI harmonized standards. If such standards are not available, an "EC-type examination certificate" issued by a notified body, Notified Body (NB) is required. RISE is a Notified Body for the Radio Directive.

Accredited radio tests from Hz to GHz

We offer accredited radio testing according to the most common European standards (ETSI) for both analogue and digital radio equipment from the low frequency Hz range up to the microwave range (GHz).

FCC testing for the US market

For the US market, it is a requirement that all radio transmitters must be certified / type-approved by the US frequency authority, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). RISE is approved for FCC testing of the most common radio equipment over the frequency range 9 kHz to 220 GHz.

Radio transmitters for placement in the US and Canadian markets

RISE, as the only one in Sweden, has been appointed by the FCC to be a TCB (Telecommuncation Certification Body). This means that we have the opportunity to perform the certification required by the FCC for radio transmitters and thus issue approval for the US market.

We can also perform equivalent tests for Canada (ISED) and assist with certifications / approvals (FCB) for the Canadian market.

RISE is a "Recognized laboratory" for both FCC and ISED.

EMC testing of radio transmitters

EMC testing of radio transmitters consists of two parts. Emission requirements, which impose requirements on what the equipment sends out for undesirable emissions on cables and power supply, as well as immunity requirements which impose requirements on the interference resistance of radio equipment. Testing is performed both radiated and conducted on external cables.

RISE can offer accredited EMC testing according to the most common parts of the standard series ETSI EN 301 489 and other international EMC standards. We also have long experience of EMC testing in specific areas such as military and vehicle testing.

RISE provides a test report with accreditation status that confirms that a third party testing institute has tested your products in accordance with applicable directives and / or standards.

Testing  is performed accredited according to ISO / IEC 17025 in our laboratories in Borås.

RISE provides an accredited test report that can be used as a basis for certification.

RISE performs tests to meet marine EMC requirements on everything from components to systems so that they can be approved for use.

We perform tests according to a variety of standards and certifications. Among other things, we perform tests against marine requirements such as "Det Norske Veritas standard for certification No 2.4", which includes EMC and IACS E10, a test specification for marine type approval and the general standard for CE marking of marine navigation and communication equipment EN 60945.

EMC testing and combination testing in many areas.

Many of the sub-elements of, for example, the general EMC standards EN 61000-6-2/ EN 61000-6-4, which are common for equipment in industrial environments, also occur in the marine tests.

We have developed test packages that make it easier for manufacturers to get their products approved for both onshore industrial and offshore applications. By seeking coordination gains, you save a lot of time. In addition, if the highest test severity is used for each sub-sample, the product can cover more markets.

RISE also coordinates and performs the EMC tests with climate, environmental and some special tests, such as the "compass safe distance test". RISE can also offer certification against the Measuring Instrument Directive. We know that standards are required and together with the customer we develop a suitable test plan.

RISE delivers a test report with accreditation status, confirming that a 3rd party testing institute has tested your products.

The testing is performed accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025 in our laboratories in Borås.

We offer calibrations for power quality parameters such as voltage, current and power for non-sinusoidal signals.

Power quality is a summary concept for assessing the quality of delivered electricity. Voltage level, distortion and transients are some of the parameters that determine the quality. The instruments used to measure power quality are therefore multi-function instruments which are usually called power quality instruments.

Non-sinusoidal signals

Power quality deficiencies are often due to loads on the network, but can also be due to natural phenomena such as lightning strikes or incorrect connection actions by grid owners. The proportion of "bad" and "sensitive" loads has increased over the years, while the deregulation of the electricity market has meant that more parties are involved in the supply of electricity today, compared to before. Today, it is no longer possible to assume that all the voltages and currents of the electric power grid are almost sinusoidal. An increasing proportion of the motor loads are inverter controlled and the offices are filled with computers, IT equipment and so on. Virtually all lighting in offices and business premises and industries consist of fluorescent tubes or LED lamps. These loads do not draw sinusoidal current and therefore produce large harmonic currents which in turn give rise to harmonic voltages. Although conditions are far from ideal, measuring instruments are often calibrated for ideal sinusoidal voltages and currents. This is partly due to tradition, partly since it is significantly more difficult to measure with non-sinusoidal signals.

The need for measuring instruments that measure correctly even under these conditions has increased greatly, both ordinary instruments and power quality instruments. In many measuring contexts, for example in quality assurance, contracts or disputes, it is necessary to have calibrated measuring instruments. Reference instruments are needed that cannot only verify instruments under ideal conditions. At RISE, we can therefore offer calibration for voltage, current and power for non-sinusoidal signals.

By calibrating your instruments and measurement systems with us, you get high quality measurements and minimize losses due to measurement errors. Regular calibration will give you information about how stable the instrument measures.

The basic function of a power quality instrument is to measure voltage, current, power and power factor. These functions are calibrated in the same way as a standard wattmeter. An extension of the basic function is to measure and save temporary peaks and dips in the voltage. The most common extra function of a power quality instrument is harmonic measurement, either to measure the level of individual harmonics or to measure the overall distortion level. Another common feature of these instruments is transient and flicker measurements.

With digital sampling technology as a basis, we have constructed a reference instrument, a digital sampling wattmeter, which, in addition to calibrating the above-mentioned quantities, can also be used for calibrating reactive and apparent power, power factor and total harmonic distortion.

Our reference instrument has, partly through our own verifications, partly through international comparison measurements, been found to have a measurement uncertainty that is within ±150 ppm in most situations. Through extensive research and development work, we can now offer calibration of even the most accurate instruments on the market.

We issue calibration certificates in Swedish or English. On our customer website for calibration, you can directly download the calibration certificate and get all the other information you need about the measuring devices.

We offer calibration of all types of electricity meters and reference electricity meters.

An electricity meter or energy meter measures electrical energy and is available as both single-phase and multi-phase.

The reference electricity meter is often called a power and/or energy measuring instrument of the highest accuracy class. These instruments are often used as a reference when calibrating and verifying power/energy measurement systems.

By calibrating your instruments and measurement systems with us, you get high quality measurements and minimize losses due to measurement errors. Regular calibration will also give you information about how stable the instrument measures over time.

We generate the desired power levels and then compare the instrument's display with our reference equipment, which has measurement uncertainty levels well within 0.01 percent.

The calibration can be performed single-phase or three-phase, 3-wire or 4-wire connection regardless of power factor.

The calibration services are adapted to the regulations for energy measurement systems, STAFS 2022:9, and are directly adapted to the needs when checking measurement systems of categories 2–5.

We issue calibration certificates in Swedish or English. On our customer website for calibration, you can directly download the calibration certificate and get all the other information you need about the measuring devices.
