Quality You Can Trust: KEMA Labs’ Assurance in LV Panels

When it comes to low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (LV  panels), quality is synonymous  safety. Poor quality components can lead to power outages, fires or injury. That’s why contractors must be able to trust the product  they buy. At KEMA Labs, our testing procedures  and  type test  certificates provide the  solid proof you need to demonstrate the reliability of your equipment. 

Low Voltage Testing

Our testing approach   is based on physical verification of LV panels covering mechanical,  dielectric,  short circuit and temperature rise effects. We simulate both standard operating conditions and real-world fault scenarios to ensure your panel performs safely and reliably.. All  tests are conducted in our accredited laboratories, in full compliance with the IEC 61439 international standard at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, ensuring global compatibility and complete transparency.

Innovation for E-Mobility

To support the fast-growing electric vehicle market, we’ve developed unique testing services for battery pack protection systems,  battery management systems  and fuse-contactors. These innovations respond to the sector’s ever-increasing focus on  safety and operational reliability.

KEMA  LABS tests LV components to internationally recognized standards. Upon request, we also performr  low voltage tests  according to national standards and specific customer requirements.
