Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does “Equipment by Standards” mean?
This section categorizes Ormity’s test systems based on international compliance frameworks (such as IEC, ISO, UL, ANSI, NEMA, and MIL) rather than just equipment type. This approach allows engineers and lab managers to find solutions directly mapped to the normative requirements their products must meet for global market access.
How do I select the correct standard for my application?
Selection should be guided by your regulatory target or target market (e.g., CE marking, UL listing).
-
Identify the primary risk: Does your product need validation for ingress protection (IEC 60529), flammability (UL 94), or medical safety (IEC 60601)?
-
Define the scope: Match the test method to your DUT (Device Under Test) size and exposure levels. If you are unsure which standard applies to your specific region or product category, our technical team can help map our equipment to your compliance needs.
Do your systems provide certification?
No. Ormity supplies compliance-oriented test equipment engineered to meet the technical requirements of specific standards. Certification is a legal process conducted by accredited laboratories or certification bodies (NBs). Our systems provide the precision and reliability you need to perform the tests, but the final compliance decision remains with the authorized agencies.
Can one piece of equipment support multiple standards?
In many cases, yes. Our systems are designed for versatility. For example, an Ingress Protection (IP) setup may be used for appliance, automotive, industrial, and medical device validation, as many standards (like ISO 20653 and IEC 60529) share similar methodologies. However, we always recommend verifying the specific clauses of your target standard to ensure the system configuration matches the required parameters.
Do you support Military and Defense standards (e.g., MIL-STD)?
Yes. Ormity systems are frequently used in environmental and enclosure validation workflows that align with standards such as MIL-STD-810. Since military testing often requires extreme conditions or specific durations, we recommend defining your project’s technical requirements with our specialists to ensure the hardware matches the mission-critical nature of the test.
How are appliance textile standards like IEC 60456 addressed?
For performance standards like IEC 60456, which define standardized load simulation and testing conditions for washing machines and dryers, Ormity supports the workflow by providing the necessary environmental conditioning and test load validation systems. We ensure that the testing environment remains stable and compliant with the norms’ strict repeatability requirements.
Is medical device testing covered?
Yes. Standards such as IEC 60601 (Medical Electrical Equipment) require rigorous environmental conditioning, enclosure validation, and safety testing. Our equipment selection for medical applications follows the device’s risk assessment and the applicable regulatory framework, ensuring high-fidelity data for life-critical equipment.
Can Ormity systems be customized for specific or emerging standards?
Absolutely. While many standards are rigid, some specialized industries or internal R&D protocols require modifications. We can adapt our systems to meet specific test durations, specialized sensors, or unique DUT dimensions that go beyond the "off-the-shelf" standard configurations.
Are the systems delivered with calibration certificates?
Yes. To ensure your lab remains compliant, our equipment is delivered with factory calibration or can be supplied with ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration upon request. This ensures that the data generated by your Ormity system is traceable and ready for audit.
Please note that ISO/IEC 17025 calibration is a service performed by an external partner; therefore, delivery times for equipment with this specific certification may be extended depending on the partner's current service queue.
