About Us.

Electrical and Electronic Product Testing Center (PTEC) has the effective equipments with worldwide acceptance to service testing for government sector and private sector. Currently, PTEC has already provided various testing services including different types of products for electromagnetic compatibility, telecommunication testing, product safety testing, energy saving testing and equipment calibration. Since the equipments of PTEC have been calibrated and verified with ISO/IEC 17025 annually, it can be ensured that these equipments are always effective, accurate and ready for use.

Electromagnetic compatibility testing, telecommunication testing, product safety testing and energy testing etc. needs not only the specific testing equipments, but also a special area designed to protect electromagnetic interference or complied with the international standards of testing such as IEC, ISO and so on. Therefore, testing sites should be as appropriate as PTEC has prepared with the international standards as shown in the following picture.

According to the ISO/IEC 17025, a testing center must have technical administration and documentation and also apply the quality system for the range of activities according to the regulations. The operation must be systematically documented which can be investigated in every steps including quality policy, quality manual, operational procedure and necessary recommendations to ensure the quality management and allow the testing service and calibration to meet the expectations from customers accurately and creditably by ISO/IEC 17025 including administration and academic regulations as follow:

- Administration Regulations are related to organizational management, quality management, documents control, request revision, subcontracting, buying goods and services, customer service, complaints, calibration that not meet the regulations, corrections, recording control, domestic quality control and administration revision.

- Academic Regulations are related to personnel, site, environment, calibration, procedure and equipment verification, traceability of measurement, calibration samples management, calibration quality assurance and calibration reports PTEC has already got ISO/IEC17025 certified for electromagnetic compatibility testing and equipment calibration from Thai Industrial Standards Institute. Currently, PTEC has been appointed by Thai Industrial Standards Institute to be a testing center for safety and energy testing. Moreover, PTEC had requested for certifications for both tests and was officially certified for safety testing already.

- Office of National Telecommunications Commission to be the first electromagnetic compatibility and telecommunication testing center that can provide the testing service for telecommunication industries according to the notification of Office of National Telecommunications Commission

- Food and Drug Administration to be the testing center for medical devices according to the notification of Food and Drug Administration

- Ministry of Information and Communication Technology to be the testing center for information and communication technology products according to the notification of Ministry of Information and Communication Technology

- Office of The Consumer Protection Board to be the testing center for electrical testing to protect the consumer according to the notification of Office of The Consumer Protection Board

- Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) to be the testing center for electrical and electronic products testing according to the notifications of Electricity Authority of Thailand

According to the International Conformity Assessment Accreditation Hierarchy by Government and Industry Recognition, structure of product certification are divided into two main parts: Cooperation ILAC governed by International Laboratory Accreditation Council or ILAC which signed the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with its members and Cooperation IAF governed by International Accreditation Forum (IAF)

In the part of Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) governed by ILAC, member countries are separated by region such as EA, APLAC. There are national organizations that certify testing system, provide calibration and receive ISO/IEC Guide58 and ISO/IEC 17010 including A2LA of USA, NAVLAP of UK and so on. The responsibility of these organizations is to certify the quality system of testing laboratory and calibration with ISO/IEC17025 and products with ISO/IEC 17020.

At the moment, PTEC is the testing center with ISO/IEC 17025certification for EMC, product safety, medical devices, energy testing and electronic equipment with high frequency calibration. Also, PTEC is during the process of investigation by Thai Industrial Standards Institute for ISO/IEC17020 certification to be Inspection Body for certifying electrical and electronic products. It is expected to get certification by the end of 2011.

Furthermore, PTEC is now registered as the electrical and electronic testing center of ASEAN with identification number 2013-001/2012. That is, PTEC can test electrical and electronic products exported to 9 member countries when ASEAN become free trade area in 2015

Thus, it can be accepted that the capability and testing service of PTEC covers the expectations of Thai industrial sector in order to produce the quality product with international standard, promote the exporting of products to other countries and comply with national regulations.

To service customers for requesting certified marks in foreign countries, PTEC has created the network of testing center and Certify Body abroad so as to label the certified marks for the product of any customers who need to export to target countries all over the world. The customers can send the product for testing at PTEC and then PTEC would issue the report of testing that is internationally accepted according to ISO/IEC17025 and submit the report to other Certify Body within the international network for consideration and labeling certified mark. PTEC alliances for testing and certified mark in other countries include TIMCO NEMKO TUV NORD ACS ASEAN LAB. The certified marks that can be tested by PTEC are as follow:
