Solutions for consumer electronics development

The consumer electronics industry is experiencing rapid change, driven by the increasing demand for smarter, more connected devices. As technologies like IoT, 5G and AI become integrated into everyday products, manufacturers face heightened expectations for product performance, reliability and regulatory compliance. Devices must not only offer seamless functionality but also meet stringent energy efficiency and wireless connectivity standards.

Bringing home appliances to market quickly, while ensuring they meet regulatory standards, is a challenge. Manufacturers need precise, reliable test solutions for consumer electronics reliability testing that streamline home appliance development and compliance processes across all stages of production - from initial design and validation to full-scale manufacturing and post-deployment maintenance.

At Rohde & Schwarz, we offer a comprehensive suite of advanced test and measurement solutions home appliance testing. Whether it’s basic electronics R&D, testing for electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring compliance with wireless connectivity protocols or optimizing energy efficiency, our consumer electronics testing solutions are designed to reduce time to market, enhance product reliability and ensure regulatory compliance.

Consumer electronics certification

Certification is a critical step in bringing consumer electronics to market. With certification, developers and manufacturers can show that their products meet regulatory and industry standards for performance, safety and connectivity.

Important certifications include those for:

EMC compliance, which ensures devices do not interfere with other electronics and are immune to external disturbances.
Wireless connectivity standards, from the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG, which verify the interoperability and security of a connected device.

Manufacturers must also meet energy efficiency standards, such as energy labeling, to comply with increasing regulatory demands for sustainability. Additionally, safety certifications like CE (Europe), UL (North America) and IEC standards (global) ensure that products are safe for consumer use, preventing risks such as electric shock or fire.
