Laboratory
Electrical Equipment Testing Laboratory (LUE)
The laboratory tests electrical and photometric equipment and performs measurements in the fields of spectroradiometry, energy efficiency of light sources and lighting equipment and lighting parameters. It carries out tests on office, computer and general-purpose equipment, as well as light sources and other low-voltage electrical equipment and appliances. The Electrical Equipment Testing Laboratory has the equipment to carry out tests and measurements on electrical equipment and systems with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
