Accredited LVD safety, Polish B mark support, and power / energy measurements for refrigeration, HVAC and heat-pump products.
AB 308
ILAC MRAElectrical testing of refrigeration equipment is a key element in ensuring safe and efficient operation. Tests detect faults or abnormalities in electrical systems that could lead to failures, fire and shock hazards, or reduced energy efficiency.
Users gain confidence that equipment meets safety and performance requirements, and manufacturers obtain the certificates and test reports needed for market access. We test in our Kraków laboratory (PCA AB 308) and directly at the client’s premises.
Electrical safety testing follows PN-EN 60335 series standards and supports both LVD 2014/35/EU conformity assessment and the Polish B safety mark. On request we also measure energy consumption, power draw and starting currents, and run abnormal-operation simulations.
Scope and schedule are agreed individually for each product type and test package. Technical data and results are covered by confidentiality — we routinely sign NDAs on request. Quotation after enquiry to laboratorium@coch.pl.
