TUV Rheinland Launches the World's First Certification Standard for Wearable Devices
HONG KONG, July 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wearable devices are the hot topics in
recent years to the extent that they are expected to become mainstream consumer
electronics before long. With the sale of wearable devices on the rise,
numerous companies have contributed to R&D, but product safety, performance,
interoperability and durability still exhibit room for improvement. To address
this gap, TUV Â Rheinland has launched the world's first certification standard
for wearable devices to help manufacturers stand out and gain a competitive
edge. This certification will also help consumers choose the safest
high-quality wearable devices while promoting industry development.
20120425171403109137-l To meet the certification requirement, wearable devices
must fulfil three requirements: safety, smart function and wearable function.
Such devices are expected to integrate into the user's life as seamlessly as
possible, which may mean close contact with the user to collect data for long
periods. Users' primary concern is device safety, and we test the safety of the
device, the battery and the power adapter. Wireless connectivity,
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and hazardous substance use are also
concerns in minimising the potential hazards of wearable devices.
The use and experience of wearable devices are directly affected by users'
habits. TUV Rheinland's wearable device certification process assesses the
durability, environmental adaptability, skin contact, battery characteristics
and electromagnetic interference of devices and components to ensure
comfortable fit and ease of use.
In addition to assessing the safety and wearable functioning of the devices,
our certification process also assess smart functions, the responses of
imbedded sensors and the information security, connectivity, assessability and
data analysis capabilities of the devices and their processors (smart phones,
tablets, PCs, cloud processors, etc.).
TUV Rheinland's wearable devices certification is setting the world's first
industry standard to help manufacturers succeed in this competitive market and
support future development.
