ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT LAB

TECNALIA

DESCRIPTION AND GOALS OF THE ORGANISATION
Laboratory of international reference, focused on the support to the
development and conformity assessment of electrical products for T&D
networks and Smart Grids, as well as industrial applications.
We support our clients, mostly manufacturers of electrical equipment and
electrical utilities, with our technical human expertise and singular testing
facilities to assess the compliance with the product standards and technical
specifications; key for the design of the product and its access to the
market.
We serve as a third-party laboratory, accredited by ILAC ENAC and
recognized by the main electrical utilities in the world.
