Test & Validation Center
At Lovink, we don’t just meet the standard — we exceed it. All our tests are performed in full compliance with IEEE 404, CENELEC HD 629, IEC 61442 (for accessories), and IEC 60455-3-8 (for resins). These standards define both the test methods and the required performance values.
Tested to perform
Our in-house Test & Validation Center is equipped to conduct a wide range of tests — not only for our own products but also for customers and external partners. Whether you need type testing, performance validation, or custom trials.
Our experienced test engineers are ready to support you. Highly trained and deeply knowledgeable, they apply Lovink’s century of expertise to ensure reliable, accurate results.
