For ex-switchgear

All Schmersal Group sites developing and producing switchgear for explosion-protected applications also have certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, which stipulates certification and approvals for the QM system based on the applicable guidelines and standards. This is another feature of the high quality standards of the Schmersal Group. This guarantees the requisite safety in the very sensitive area of (safety) switchgear for explosion-risk environments.

Certification in accordance with Appendix X MD

Certification in accordance with Appendix X of the Machinery Directive (“Comprehensive Quality Assurance”) at the Wuppertal and Wettenberg sites means that we can develop, test and release our own machine safety components. At the same time, it confirms the high quality level and expertise of the sites.

Exacting quality standards for testing and certification

The Schmersal test laboratory currently employs eleven people, of which nine are officially registered testers. The test equipment includes test panels for electrical and mechanical rigidity and service life testing, environment simulation systems (temperature, humidity, vibration, seals) and the necessary EMC equipment.

As well as testing during development and type-testing new safety switchgear, the lab’s responsibilities also include securing series production and testing and (in cooperation with the developers) optimisation of existing ranges. A separate quality management system which is fully integrated into the Schmersal Group QM system guarantees compliance with exacting quality standards in testing and qualification.
