IMQ is one of Europe’s top players in the field of conformity assessment.

Backed by almost 70 years of operation, we are the ideal partner for companies, organisations and professionals who want to dial up their value by testing and certifying the safety, quality and performance of their work and their products.

In the EMC and RED sector, IMQ supports progress and innovation by acting as an innovative technological hub,

with a team of qualified technicians who verify electromagnetic compatibility, wireless functionality and interoperability, but also aspects of cyber security.

All this to verify the operation, performance and safety requirements of smart systems and interconnected products, in order to ensure a correct, efficient, reliable and secure exchange of data and information.

 

EMC & RED TEST AND MEASUREMENT

Our EMC&RED technology hub is capable of testing for all the necessary requirements for interconnected systems and products,to ensure their safety and that the communications between them are appropriate, efficient, reliable and secure. We guarantee experienced technicians and cutting-edge equipment to make sure every product works properly and safely. Real-life test environments to check that the communication and interoperability protocols are always put in place.

 

ACCELERATED AGEING TEST

IMQ also provides an accelerated ageing test service for electronic products, using the latest innovative test procedures to improve product reliability. The test techniques are based on simulating conditions that exceed normal operating conditions by a considerable margin. Two distinct test procedures in particular are gaining increasing recognition for their effectiveness: HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screen). These methods enable you to expose equipment to a combination of climatic and mechanical stress, in extreme conditions in terms of vibration, temperature and rapid changes in temperature, so as to highlight any imperfections quickly.
