UL Solutions recently announced the opening of its expanded Songshan Lake IoT Laboratory in Dongguan, China, emphasising the company’s commitment to supporting manufacturers in navigating the complexities of connected product and wireless device testing and market access.
The new 36,000 square foot facility, which replaces a nearby smaller facility, includes EMC chambers and significantly expands the company’s capacity and capabilities in China. EMC testing available at the new facility will assess products’ ability to function without causing or being susceptible to electromagnetic interference across various devices, from household appliances to high-powered industrial equipment. The new EMC chambers significantly improve UL Solutions’ ability to handle high-power and high-current product testing — particularly for large items — and support the latest wireless technology advancements.
“With the proliferation of devices and technologies in today’s hyperconnected world, product testing is a fundamental imperative to demonstrate those devices’ safety and security,” explained Todd Denison, Senior Vice President of Global Regions, UL Solutions. “The investment in our Songshan Lake IoT Laboratory furthers our pledge to help customers demonstrate compliance with safety and interoperability requirements here in China and for the global market.”
In addition to the EMC testing, the Songshan Lake IoT Laboratory provides a wide range of other testing services, including those that focus on wireless, telecommunications, advanced 5G New Radio and Wi-Fi technologies, alongside specialised automotive testing and IoT evaluations with cybersecurity and interoperability certifications.
To address increasing demand and evolving regulations, the laboratory also offers advanced Wi-Fi 6E/7 testing systems and a USB-Type C test platform for CE Radio Equipment Directive compliance. Combined, these capabilities significantly enhance UL Solutions’ ability to handle high-power and high-current product testing.
Complementing the Songshan Lake IoT laboratory in China, UL Solutions provides connected product and wireless device testing and certification services globally at facilities in India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK and the US, in California, Illinois and North Carolina.
