Electrical safety testing

In the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or Drones, electrical safety testing is essential to protect users, comply with regulations, prevent electrical hazards such as fires or malfunctions, and build trust in the reliability of UAS/Drone technology.  

ALTER is accredited by the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC) to perform security safety tests according to the UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Standard, scope 345/LE808 for the aeronautical, railway, information technologies, and communication, audiovisual, industrial and security, and space industries. 

In this area we carry out tests of: 

• Electrical insulation and resistance. 
• Accessibility to dangerous voltages and energies. Mechanical, electrical, and fire protection enclosures. 
• Thermal map and hot spot detection. Contact with electrical and telecommunication networks. 
• TNV (Telecom Networks Voltage) and overvoltage circuit requirements. 

• Test, measurement and laboratory equipment. 
• Industrial control process equipment. 
• Machines with electrical and electronic systems. 
• Audio and video equipment 
• Relays and protection equipment 
• UAS/Drones and aeronautical sector equipment 

In Europe electrical safety is regulated by the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU (LVD) for electrical products, the RED directive for radio and telecommunication products, and the 2006/42/EC directive for Machines. 

The instructions incorporated in both the user and installation manuals of the equipment must be sufficient and adequate for the safe operation of the equipment. To assess the adequacy of the manuals, a detailed analysis of the manuals is performed, which is also necessary to obtain the CE marking.
