"To qualify for a VDE mark, without TDAP certification, products must be sent to Germany for certification".
"Now that Fluke has received VDE TDAP certification, we can conduct the entire suite of EN61010-1 requirements within our own laboratory and submit the report for VDE approval", said Larry Eccleston, Quality Manager for Fluke.
"This certification is an acknowledgement of Fluke expertise and quality, and enables us to improve efficiency, externally verify our laboratory quality and improve Fluke's overall product life cycle".
TDAP certification is a lengthy process requiring demonstrated proficiency prior to admittance into the programme.
Candidates must demonstrate competency: through complete knowledge of the standard and test procedures; by having a fully equipped laboratory capable of effectively completing the required testing; by keeping calibration eminence records; and by providing proof of qualified education or training credentials for laboratory staff conducting the tests.
