Products & services
EMC Testing
We offer EMC and radio testing services for both product development phases and accredited conformity testing. Our accredited scope of competence is published on the Finnish Accreditation Service (FINAS) website (accreditation T004). In Espoo, we operate three complementary test environments (Kara 5 SAC, Kara 5 FAR, and Kara 10 SAC), where our accreditation also covers testing in accordance with FCC and ISED requirements. The 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber in Tuusula further complements our facilities, especially for large and heavy test objects.
Calibration
The need for calibration is usually based on a company’s quality objectives. Production quality systems and customer agreements require traceability of measurements, and any measurements that affect the quality of the final product must be verified. This is ensured through calibration, either at SGS calibration laboratory or on the customer’s premises. By using calibrated and sufficiently accurate measuring instruments, companies gain better control over their production processes. An effective calibration system enables analysis of measurement equipment performance, supports the achievement of quality targets, and helps keep costs under control. Regular calibrations ensure that instruments maintain the required accuracy and that any deviations remain within agreed limits. SGS experts assist in identifying which instruments need calibration and in scheduling calibrations to align with the customer’s production activities.
Environmental Conditions Testing
Environmental conditions testing is an essential part of the design, development, and quality assurance process for electronic devices. These tests simulate the different physical, chemical, and atmospheric conditions that a device might face during its lifecycle. Testing helps to ensure that electronics and electrical products can withstand the stresses of real-world environments, perform reliably, and meet the regulatory requirements of different industries. By performing these tests, manufacturers can ensure compliance, prevent product failures, improve the longevity of devices, and provide customers with high-quality, safe, and reliable products.
Testing and Certification of Luminaires
We rarely pay attention to lighting – until it stops working. Yet lighting affects energy consumption, occupational safety, and overall environmental comfort. Luminaires, light sources, and components must comply with national and regional requirements before being placed on the market. Through testing and certification, you ensure that your product meets both regulatory requirements and customer expectations. SGS Fimko is an experienced and reliable provider of testing and certification services, with nearly 100 years of experience in Finland. We offer accredited safety testing in accordance with applicable standards, as well as full or partial testing based on customer needs. Our services include, among others: Safety and performance testing of luminaires, light sources, and components FI, ENEC/ENEC+, and CB certification for national and international markets Photometric measurements (light distribution, spectrum, color temperature, luminance, etc.) Photobiological risk classification EMC, radio, IP, and IK testing, as well as RoHS and REACH services ITA services to support entry into new markets
Services for Importers of Electrical Products
SGS offers importers of electrical products a fast and cost‑effective way to identify any significant electrical safety deficiencies in their products. As an importer, you are responsible under directives and product standards for ensuring that the products comply with applicable requirements. In the Nordic region, electrical products are monitored by authorities who test hundreds of products every year. A significant proportion are found to have deficiencies or to be so dangerous that sales must be restricted, which can lead to recalls or products being withdrawn from the market. Through our importer services, our experts identify the relevant safety requirements and focus on the most critical tests. In this way, the importer or retailer quickly receives information about any safety shortcomings and can assess the product’s market readiness.
Safety Testing
SGS offers advanced safety testing for electrical products – all to help manufacturers, importers, and retailers reach the market quickly and with confidence. With our broad expertise and modern test laboratories, we ensure that your products meet all relevant safety requirements, directives, and standards. We focus on quality, clear results, and smooth processes. Whether you are in the early stages of product development or preparing to launch a finished product, SGS provides the technical guidance and test results you need to minimize risks, avoid costly non‑conformities, and strengthen your competitive edge.
Cabling Testing
Cables and conductors play an essential role in many electrical devices, and each application has its own specific cable type. In addition to electrical equipment, cables are also found in homes, workplaces, and public spaces—for example, for power transmission, control, and telecommunications. Conductors and cables may be insulated with rubber or PVC, or be halogen‑free, and their areas of use range from low‑voltage power cables to high‑voltage overhead lines. Cables are subject to a wide variety of requirements, from the EU Construction Products Regulation to cable‑type‑specific standards.
