• Formal protocol testing against certification specifications 

• Dedicated debugging support with quick turnaround 

• Interoperability testing for device compatibility 

• RF performance validation 

• Pre-authorization guidance for regulatory requirements 

• Compliance testing for Radio Equipment Directive (RED), Korean Certification (KC) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification 

• Assistance with certification forms and submissions 

• On-site assessment options for Zigbee testing 

• Test harness training for Matter protocol testing 

• Cyber Security testing and certification 

We provide comprehensive testing across a wide range of wireless-enabled devices and components to ensure they meet certification requirements and perform reliably for your customers. Our testing capabilities include:

• Smart home products requiring Matter certification (lights, sensors, home appliances) 

• Bluetooth-enabled consumer devices (cellular phones, headsets, wearables) 

• Household appliances (TVs, household products) 

• Bluetooth automotive systems and integrations 

• Zigbee-compliant IoT ecosystem devices 

• Zigbee Smart Energy systems 

• Connected controls and sensors 

• Remote control devices using RF4CE 

• Products for specialized IoT ecosystems (GE/Daintree, Comcast/Xfinity) 

• Wireless-connected medical devices 

• Automotive and Aerospace electronic systems 

Element's labs feature state-of-the-art testing equipment calibrated to deliver precise, repeatable results for wireless protocol performance. Our facilities utilize the Zigbee 3.1 Test Tool (ZTT)—software originally developed by our labs and now the only formally recognized tool for Zigbee 3.1 certification by the Zigbee Alliance. For Matter certification, we employ specialized test harnesses that validate conformance to the latest specifications. Our advanced equipment allows us to simulate real-world conditions and accurately measure RF characteristics essential for wireless device certification.
