Product Qualification and Testing
Certification is good, but it is not a guarantee of quality.
REC considers IEC and UL
compliance as a minimum
requirement.
Strict test criteria beyond these
standards must be passed before
REC releases products to market.
In designing and developing new
products, REC works not only to
meet international standards, but
surpass them.
Rigorous product quality testing is
carried out in the following general
categories:
– Safety
– Equipment calibration
– Electrical performance
– Mechanical performance
– Product aesthetics
