Where we may not have prior experience with a particular certification requirement, we draw on our depth of engineering experience to understand and apply new standards. We also have extensive working relationships with established and accredited test houses, access to subject experts in Universities and through Knowledge Transfer Networks.

We are therefore able to interpret new standards, devise appropriate testplans, apply them, to test and certify and validate the solutions we engineer.

Challenging applications
With applications increasingly pushing computing equipment further and further into hostile environments, the ability toengineer safe and reliable solutions whilst protecting against: ingress of fluids and dust, shock and vibration and a multitude of others is a broadening area of Captec’s capability and expertise.

Evolving technologies
As clock frequencies race higher and higher, wave lengths get shorter, consequently radiating from far more apertures and interconnecting interfaces. EMC emission and susceptibility are increasingly thorny challenges for computing manufacturers. Complying with regulatory standards is difficult enough, but at Captec we are able to take this much further having already designed computing equipment to meet far more stringent requirements, a mongst them medical, defence, security and transport standards.

Totally green equipment
At Captec we take a holistic approach to compliance, not only considering the customer’s compliance and certification requirements, but extend this to encompass Environmental Compliance as a given.

RoHS Compliance
Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances
All Captec designed products are fully compliant with the RoHS Regulations, with all 6 of the listed substances within specified limits. Our COTS+ products are compliant, unless agreed in advance with customers who have exempt applications or a requirement for spares for older equipment. Our ISO14001 procedures ensure we maintain compliance with this legislation.
