Other Testing
At The LIA we have a wide range of testing services to offer that help cater to all your testing needs. These can include assistance in reviewing technical files or help getting your reports for UMSUG applications.
We also work with other national testing bodies to offer testing for requirements such as EMC and RoHS.
Unmetered Supplies User Group (UMSUG) Measurements
Unmetered Supplies User Group (UMSUG) Measurements
UMS testing, also known as UMSUG testing, evaluates the energy consumption of public lighting and other street furniture that is not individually metered.
This testing determines the energy usage profiles for these installations to ensure accurate energy billing based on predicted rather than actual usage. It is essential for utilities to allocate costs appropriately and for users to be charged fairly. By confirming the accuracy of the energy usage data, UMSUG testing supports efficient management and operation of public lighting systems, helping to optimise energy consumption and reduce costs.
The LIA can test your products either at our laboratory or at your facility to provide the reports required to make your application to ELEXON.
Technical File Review Service
Technical File Review Service
The UKCA/CE technical file review process involves compiling and evaluating documentation that demonstrates a product's compliance with relevant safety, health, and environmental standards.
An LIA assessment of your technical file typically includes review of design details, manufacturing processes, risk assessments, and testing results. Having this 3rd party review ensures your products meet stringent EU or UK regulations before entering the market.
Benefits of this service include reduced risk of non-compliance penalties, and enhanced product safety and reliability as well access to our lighting experts to pick their brains on all things technical file.
Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing assesses whether electronic devices operate as intended without causing or suffering from electromagnetic interference.
We work with the largest EMC laboratories in the UK to offer preferential prices to LIA Members.
EMC testing checks devices for emissions that could disrupt other equipment and their immunity to external electromagnetic influences. The goal is to ensure products can function compatibly in their intended environment without interference issues. Passing EMC testing is crucial for compliance with international regulatory standards, preventing operational disruption, and maintaining reliability and safety.
