Radio and wireless functions are being incorporated into an ever-wider range of everyday objects, from car key fobs to fridge freezers. Whether you have installed a pre-approved module or developed a radio solution from scratch using a chipset, Element provides Radio RF regulatory testing to enable you to demonstrate that your products will use the radio spectrum effectively and comply with local and regional requirements. 

Manufacturers must comply with the directives, rules or standards applicable to the territory in which they want to sell their products. 

Element’s engineering team can support you throughout the entire radio compliance testing process, from generating bespoke test plans and performing pre-compliance investigations through to full formal conformance testing. We aim to deliver fast and efficient solutions against complex testing requirements. 

Complementary to our extensive Radio RF regulatory compliance testing services, Element offers related services to assist you from the initial stages of identifying a suitable compliance strategy through comprehensive testing programs, certification and finally delivering to the global market place. 

Element labs in the UK and US are ISO 17025 accredited to provide testing to the following:
